You are right AOII was founded in the North, but the 2nd and 3rd chapters were at Tulane and Tennessee respectively. I'd say they are very Southern Schools.

Trust me, Chi Omega's name appeared in that book (and regretably many other publications) without permission.

Marilyn Schwartz, author of The Southern Belle Primer, is a columnist for the Dallas Morning News. Her book was fun & lighthearted -- but certainly a SUBJECTIVE view on sororities in the South.

Chi Omega had her speak at our Panhellenic Luncheon at the 1994 National Chi Omega Convention, held in Houston. She was well-received.

authors/journalists don't really need permission to use a GLO's name, as long as what they're printing isn't incredibly false and/or disparaging.

I'll be the first to admit that you know the law better than I yet I know that one of the very first things we learned as New Members was that we were NEVER to use the name Alpha Delta Pi in any form of publication without vetting it first. That included the greek newsletter!

But that's a totally different situation. I learned the same thing as a new member. The reason for that is that they don't want you giving statements as representing ADPi.

They can't do anything to stop a journalist from using it.

My sorority was founded in VA but I don't consider us southern by any means (most of our chapters are in the northeast). Those I DO consider southern:

Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Chi Omega
Pi Beta Phi
Phi Mu
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
ZTA
Delta Gamma
Tri Delta
Alpha Omicron Pi

It just seems to me that whenever I'm visiting down south, these are the chapters at most of the schools I visit (LSU, Ole Miss, UF, UGA, etc)

When I think of the term "southern sorority", I think of organizations where their strength is primarily in the South. I would include KD, ADPi, AOPi, Phi Mu, and Zeta in these. Of course, I know there are places outside the south where these organizations have good chapters. But if we are generalizing, then I would say those 5.

I would say Chi O, Tri Delta, DG, Kappa, Theta, and Pi Beta Phi are the six organizations that have more of a national strength.

Of course, this is just my opinion after learning about the organizations (including my own) over the years.

I think that SDT could possibly be considered Northern since we were founded at Cornell, but then again, there are some sororities that were founded that are strong in the south...hmm...

The sororities I consider "northern":

Tri Sigma
Alpha Epsilon Phi
Alpha Sigma Alpha
Sigma Delta Tau
Phi Sigma Sigma
Delta Phi Epsilon
Theta Phi Alpha
Alpha Sigma Tau

In my opinion, these organizations' strongest chapters are in the north.

I'll admit, there are a few that are just strong EVERYWHERE, but have alot of large chapters up north, for example:

Alpha Phi
Sigma Kappa
Alpha Gamma Delta
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
Delta Gamma

In my humble opinion "Northern Sororities" would include:

Delta Phi Epsilon
Sigma Delta Tau
Tri Sigma
Alpha Gamma Delta
Theta Phi Alpha
Phi Sigma Sigma
Sigma Kappa
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta

Only cause before we started the colonization process, they were the only sororites I had heard of (save Zeta, and thats because they were on my campus). Honestly, I was never into the Greek thing and not many people around me were either. So my limited experience with Greek Life came from when I visited colleges for track, friends who went Greek immediatly at other schools, and good ol' Beverly Hills 90210.

I hear that AXiD is more of Mid-Western/Northeastern sorority. The funny thing is, our southern region has more chapters than any other, including the one that's from literally the middle of the country to the west coast. Most of our chapters down here though are at smaller schools; the only SEC schools with chapters are us and UT-Knoxville.
