I can understand why certain sororities would be considered "elite" in the sense that they started the NPC.

I think the word "elite" is a strange word to use..... but apparently that is what has stuck over the years.

I may be speaking from my own sorority pride but I think ADPi should be included in that list because we were the first. I know other sororities sometimes make that claim but...
-NPC recognizes us as the first (founding date: May 15, 1851 in Macon, Goergia)
-Our international motto is "First and Finest"
-We were the first sorority to celebrate our 150th birthday this past May

This is not to say that being the first makes us any better than anyone else.

On the other had, I can see why ADPi might not be included in the "elite" list..
-we didn't go national until around 1904
-we didn't join NPC until sometime around 1909 or later (I forget the exact year)

This may explain why although ADPi has chapters all over the US, we'll always be strongest in the deep south...but I hear we're pretty strong in the mid-west too?

The only sorority that I never heard of having a weak chapter is KKG so I'm sure they deserve the title of elite!
