I clicked on the Alpha Sigma Chi link -- it gives the history of the chapter and ends with a creed that's taken word-for-word from ASA's. Isn't that infringing on copyright? (Or, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"?) And the coat of arms/crest looks very similar.
It's been that way for a long long time (and that site has been around for a long time). They even use the ASA nickname. If Alpha Sigma Alpha wanted to sue them, it would have happened by now. Why they haven't reaffiliated, is for someone more knowledgeable than me to answer.
