national

ADPi and KD are pretty much exclusively Southern, and while they're good in the South they are not good pretty much anywhere else and don't have the strongest Nationals

ADPi and KD aren't really even strong in the south everywhere. In Texas they're bottom at every school.

KD
KKG
CHI O
DG
ADPI
Theta

(in no particular order)

ADPI is better than KD in Texas. Not great but better, has a chapter at TCU and Baylor. KD failed at both schools. ADPi at UT is lower tier but not the worst house,at least equal to KD if not slightly better. Alpha Xi Delta and SDT are the um scary houses at UT.

yeah I wasn't including AXiD and SDT because they're barely even real sororities at this point lol

Alpha Phi is big on the West Coast, but not nationally.

Alpha Phi is the THIRD largest sorority of 26 NPC groups. Get your facts straight. They are absolutely a major player in sorority world , and that includes all regions of the U.S.

Sorry to have upset you, Alpha Phi, but having a bunch of chapters doesn't make you a national powerhouse, especially when many of them are at second tier schools- ie, your chapter closed at Texas A&M because of numbers but you're at Texas A&M- Commerce (a commuter school).

@strat - Alpha Phi is at more Ivy League schools than anyone. It is at more elite schools -- and by that I mean the near Ivies like Johns Hopkins and Stanford (not technically an Ivy) than any other group. And every group has closed chapters. Texas A & M ? Meh. We just conquering the SEC now. Roll Tide !

Get your facts straight:

1. Johns Hopkins is not even an Ivy League school. The Ivies are an athletic league consisting of Cornell, Brown, Columbia, UPenn, Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Dartmouth.

2. Alpha Phi is only on 4 of those campuses. Other soririties are on more Ivy campuses than APhi: Kappa and Theta are both at 7 of the 8 Ivy schools (Kappa is not at Brown & Theta is not at Harvard). Pi Phi is also on 4 Ivy campuses. Pi Phi, Kappa, and Theta are considered the most prestigious of the Ivy sororities since they are the only three houses at Yale and Princeton.

@strat -- can you read ? Strat said "near Ivy" when referring to Hopkins. It means schools just below the Ivies in admissions selectivity. Alpha phi is at Harvard, Yale (colony), Dartmouth, Cornell and UPenn and has a closed chapter at Columbia. Alpha Phi at more of the Top 50 U.S. News national universities than any other. Not the no name teachers colleges and land grant schools that comprise so many other groups.

I meant to agree with "National"

I would add Alpha Phi to the nationally strong list - they are top at almost every school in the West Coast and mid-Atlantic and are the 3rd largest sorority. Otherwise, the list is spot on!

Alpha Phi is top in the midwest too

Where did you get this information? Doesn't really matter, but your information is way wrong

Alpha Phi is extremely strong nationally. I'm not an APhi but my sister is, and they're not only top on the West Coast, Midwest, and Northeast, but have more chapters at elite schools than any other sorority - Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Penn, MIT, Dartmouth, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Duke, UNC, UCLA, UC Berkeley, USC.....

Dz is in the top 5 amount of chapters nationally out of the over 100 recognized soririties.

I don't go hear, but randomly read this page because it's so different from greeklife I've seen. But the strongest nationally(having actually visited chapters in every region) is hands down Kappa, Theta and Alpha Phi. Theta's alum base is insane and have a solid presence nationally besides California where they only really have a few top chapters. Kappa once again is beyond strong nationally and seems to have a decent southern presence. Alpha Phi completely dominates the entire west coast as well as parts of the Mid-West, North and New England. Both Miss America 2015 and Miss USA 2015 were initiated into Alpha Phi(although Miss America was kicked out). The first woman treasurer of the U.S.A. was an Alpha Phi along with Frances E Willard... the main woman you should thank for women's right to vote. Most any republican politicians wife was a Theta. Ralph Lauren's daughter was a Theta. Melinda Gates was a Theta. Same with Tory Burch. (Basically Theta is the wife house) Kate Spade was a Kappa. Lo Bosworth, Sophia Bush, Mariska Hargitay among MANY other actresses were in Kappa. Kappa had two First Ladies. Quite honestly, the houses that are traditionally strong in the south aren't that nationally strong.

Google "Newsweek top sororities" and you will find a ranking based on number of chapters, funds donated through their foundations, twitter and Facebook followers for 2012.

Not sure if this really tells much, but it's there if you're curious...

This is your opinion. These lists aren't factually accurate.

Your list is pretty spot on

Love her Bama pride, but this list is clearly from her perspective - and appreciate the southern pride, but she's not doing anyone any favors by presenting this list as fact.

Alpha Chi is not very strong nationally at all. Across the board, south and north, it's pretty much Chi O, Tri Delt, and Kappa

This is accurate if you want to know about social media presence in 2012 when you were sophomores in high school. This list is worse than useless because it has no relevance today but you're presenting it as if it did.

It clearly states that it is from 2012, so I don't think it was presented as current. But it seems to be the most recent list from Google. I doubt things have changed drastically since then, but who knows. It does at least offer some useful info, like $ donated and number of chapters as recent as a few years ago, instead of just opinions and more opinions. I may not agree with the rank, but found the numbers interesting.

I don't think Theta Phi Alpha has chartered 94 chapters total let alone have that many active.

If you really want to see strength, you need to look at the ratio of chartered chapters to active chapters, not including things like the school not existing anymore.
