BamaDad,
I don't consider DZ a traditional southern sorority in terms of chapters and alumnae support, however it does have some good chapters in the SEC (I know a few of the DZ girls at bama a year above your daughter, all good friends).

You say Phi Mu would do better b/c it is a "traditional southern sorority" yet they have tried twice and have not succeeded-why would it work a third time? And I personally would not say Theta is a southern sorority.

No, I would say Phi Mu would do better because it has alumni, along with Theta and DG. Not necessarily because it is southern, but because it has history and tradition on the campus however spotted it may be. However, AOPi has no tradition on campus.
Partially the reason I consider Phi Mu, Theta, Chi-o, traditional Southern sororities, is because their chapters dominate on campuses throughout the SEC, Texas - Big 12, and Mid-Atlantic of the ACC. Consider Phi Mu at LSU, Chi-O at Arkansas, Theta at SMU (if they're still on anymore). I could go on and on, those sororities tend to dominate the Southern social scene. That's why one could consider KA and SAE traditional Southern fraternities. (however theirs are more multifaceted, founded in the South, still respect the Old South, so on). SAE and KA dominate in Texas and throughout the south.
