- Unofficially it has been noted that much of the order's ceremonies are derived from that of the Mason's which shares a Gnostic tradition with the Bavarian Illuminati. Furthermore that the Order was founded in the late 1840's in New York, the first stop off point of European intellectuals fleeing the old world, who knows what influence European exiles of the troubles of 1830 and 1848 may have had on the founders of the Alpha chapter at New York University. That chapter transferred over to Columbia a short while later.

I deleted the author 71.235.99.93's February 22, 2007 edit that said the Yale St. A's chapter cut ties to the national organization. Although this purported fact was contained in a March 2006 Yale Daily News article (http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/17166 ), the reporter made this assertion erroneously. The Yale chapter president quoted in the article is not attributed to the assertion. Instead, it may be an inference of the Daily News reporter that the Yale chapter had been cut off because its not listed on the St. A's national website. But a closer reading of the national website will indicates the organization "our undergrad. chapters include the following..." rather thn stating that its web listing is complete. Actual disassociation of Yale's chapter from a national chapter is a big deal; had this truly occurred, it would be documented elsewhere more credibly than in an undergraduate newspaper. In changing the text, I also expanded on the discussion of the co-education issues because it may be a point of interest. If the unregistered author 71.235.99.93 would like to inquire further, that would be fine, but please identify or register, so we can see each others contribs. and affirm our respective credibility as contributors. This is meant collegially, not at all unfriendly - peace out. Feb 23, 07 BoolaBoola2
