Notes
[edit]- ^ Baird's Manual Online notes the absorption of Alpha Pi Beta (local) to effect the re-establishment of the chapter in 1987.
- ^ At its 1940 revival, the Beta chapter was created from Lambda Alpha Sigma (local), a group that dated from 1912.

- ^ At its 1926 revival, the Lambda chapter was created from Phi Lambda Sigma (local), a group that dated from 1925.
- ^ The Iota chapter was created from Delta Gamma Rho (local), a group that dated from 1920. At its 2010 revival another group named Beta Lambda Theta (local) and dating from 2003 was adopted to become the Iota chapter on the Emporia campus.
- ^ The Kappa chapter was created from Alpha Kappa Gamma (local), a group that dated from 1922.
- ^ The Sigma chapter was created from Tau Phi (local), a group that dated from 1921. At its later revival the group was established as a ΑΣΤ colony in 1979.

- ^ The Alpha Zeta chapter had originally formed as Epsilon Phi Sigma (local) in 1937.
- ^ The Alpha Eta chapter had originally formed as the Alpha Philo society (local) in 1902.
- ^ The Alpha Theta chapter had originally formed as Phi Gamma Nu (local) in 1931.
- ^ The Alpha Omega chapter had originally formed as the Lambda chapter of Pi Alpha Tau in 1930. By about 1950 that small, Jewish national ceased to exist, sparking the CUNY, Brooklyn College group to choose a new name and operate as Sigma Tau Delta (local). The date of the name change is unknown. It then gathered a sister chapter at Syracuse, the former Mu chapter of Pi Alpha Tau, which had survived under a different local name. The two operated as a regional sorority. By 1960 the two groups opted to merge into Alpha Sigma Tau.
- ^ The Alpha Iota chapter had originally formed as Pi Alpha Mu (local) in 1949. The naming convention strongly suggests it was in the process of becoming the Mu chapter of Pi Alpha Tau, a small national that would soon disband. After stabilizing as a local, it became part of a two-chapter group called Sigma Tau Delta ΣΤΔ, , banding with a CUNY Brooklyn chapter that had also been jettisoned from Pi Alpha Tau, and which had adopted the Sigma Tau Delta name. The two chapters joined as ΣΤΔ between 1950 and before 1960 - maybe officially in 1957. They both merged into Alpha Sigma Tau in 1960. Note that another sorority, Sigma Delta Tau evolved a few years prior to this time on the Syracuse campus, but the dates don't exactly match up and the predecessor at Syracuse for ΣΔΤ was a known local called Beta Chi Alpha - no connection.
- ^ The Alpha Kappa chapter had originally formed as Pi Theta Gamma (local) in 1959.
- ^ The Alpha Xi chapter was created from a local group called The Collegians, dating from 1961.
- ^ The Alpha Omicron chapter had originally formed as Sigma Delta Phi (local) in 1930.

- ^ The Alpha Phi chapter was created from Sigma Kappa Rho (local), a group that dated from 1968.
- ^ The Alpha Psi chapter was created from a very old group, Kappa Theta Psi (local), which had formed in 1906, making it older than all but two chapters of ΑΣΤ.
