national

Why do you keep bringing up this nonsense about "strong nationally?"
It really doesn't matter for your 4 or 5 years at Alabama. The strongest ones at Bama are the only "strong sororities" that you'll be concerned with here.
Once you graduate, you'll find that all the sororities are strong SOMEWHERE and all are weak SOMEWHERE.

There is NO SUCH THING as you can see from all the arguments. I'm from another state and I'll tell you that the lists you see on here make me laugh. It's great to have state pride, but most of our top houses (and yes, I'm in one) are weak sisters nationally. Please don't let and fictional "national rank" influence which sisterhood you choose to join. It totally isn't worth it.

Strongest:
Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Delta Delta, Chi Omega

Very strong:
Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Gamma, Alpha Phi

Strong in the south (not including TX):
Alpha Delta Pi, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Delta, Phi Mu

Strong in certain regions of the country/certain chapters, but not really nationally:
Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Zeta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Gamma Phi Beta

Not strong:
Alpha Gamma Delta

This is my opinion, so you might agree or you might not, it isn't a factual list.

It's important to remember that this really doesn't matter. Each organization has really strong chapters and really weak chapters. For example - if you're a DDD, you may be in a strong national & UA sorority, but if you move to Colorado after you graduate, you will be living where their chapters aren't quite as strong. But it doesn't matter! You still have the same experience and the same amazing sisters!

Go where you feel at home! Where you can laugh and be yourself all the time! Go where you will look back in 20 years from wherever you live in the world at the wonderful memories you made with all your best friends, no matter the letters! That is all that is important.

That being said, yes there are strong national sororities and weak national sororities, and strong and weak sororities at every school, just like at UA. But being part of a strong sorority isn't going to give you better sisters, better friendships, better memories, etc. Go where you feel at home, nationally strong or not.

Why are we talking about this? Pmns could care less. It is not going to influence their decision this week. I highly doubt any pnm is wanting to make a decision based on national rankings. They just all want to be able to pledge a chapter at Bama On Saturday. Take it to greekchat where you know who you are talking to and argue over there.
