I just happened to stumble across this thread...

I have also been very curious about the similarities, since there seem to be so many of them. But think of it this way: there are only so many colors/letters/jewels/etc. out there, it would be very difficult for every group to have something original. I can assure everyone out there that the rituals of the two groups bear hardly any similarity to each other, besides the obvious open symbols we share. None of the symbols that are the same stand for the same things either.

Sorry if saying that let out any "secret" info.

A Sigma Kappa friend of mine and I were recently discussing this. We just chalked it up to mere coincidence. We weren't founded geographically close to each other and when SK was founded, I'm not even sure our founders were born, considering they were only in their teens when they started Tri Sigma in 1898.

Arrow This is how I feel about it

I don't mean to bust in on your forum...but this is a topic started about both of us so I thought I would add my input.

I think that it is a severe coincidence that we have similar sybols because throughout our history things have changed and if you take this into account you will realize that initialy we werent that similar at all.

Our original colors were Purple, Moss (I think but it was for sure a green color), and white. Our badge used to be a skull and bones originaly and didnt have the triangle shape with the pearls like it does now.

If nothing had ever changed we would not even be discussing this. The only reason we are is because they did.
There are so many other chapters that have purple violets as there flower (ADPi,) or the pearl for (at least one of) their jewel(s) (AXO, AEPhi, AGD, ASA, AST, AXiD, XO, Tri-Delt, DPhiE, GPhiB, KD, Pi Phi). These were popular at the time most of our sororities were founded. Also there are other chapters with similar badges to both of ours (DPhiE).

If your still not convinced take a good look at our CRESTs and new member pins. These have not changed since the forming of our organizations. They are so completely different. Thin about what your crest symbols mean and look at the other sororities. Can you imagine that theirs in anyway similar to your own? NO!That is where the true meaning of each sisterhood lies...in our ritual which I can almost promise is very different just by looking at what is out there.

This is why I think all of this a big coinicidence! Just look at the FACTS!

Sigma Love and Mine,
Brenda

I have been here a VERY long time ... and this post was dead for a long time ...

If you are concerned that people may possibly think these two chapter may some how be linked ... please stop posting it here because its only making people freak out and post more when we have already come to the conclusion that they are in no way the same sorority.

I know this doesnt apply to everyone, but some people are getting a little pissy about things that weren't ment to anger anyone.
