Early photo

I have a photo taken of me by my girlfriend in October of 1996 wearing an Alpha Sigma Rho baseball-style cap. The cap is cerulean blue with the "Alpha Sigma Rho" written in stylized font resembling Apple Chancery across the front above the bill in crimson embroidery, the colors according the the Sorority colors minus the silver. The verified date of me wearing the hat indicates the existence of Sorority activity of about two years prior to the official founding of the organization according to the article.

In 1996, or even late 1995, when I got the hat at the Salvation Army store in Ventura or Camarillo, California, I probably tried to find out what the Greek-lettered fraternity/sorority was that it belonged to at the Ventura County Library system and found nothing. I am very curious about the world I live in, being a geologist and chemist. That is what good geologists and chemists love do - we check things out! Looking at the photo again today just shy of twenty-two years after it was taken, I again checked out Alpha Sigma Rho and hit pay-dirt this time.

So, what about the pre 1998 date? Linstrum (talk) 17:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If the hat was used or old as of your purchase date in 1995/96, sadly, it may have been from another group using that same name. We track a couple thousand Greek Letter Organizations here, mostly consisting of three or more campus chapters. But there are and were an enormous number of what are called "locals", fraternities or sororities often with overlapping names the same as existing groups. Over the years there have been literally 200,000 or more of them. There was also a fictional fraternity with that name, featured in the movie "Hell Night (1981)" Jax MN (talk) 21:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
