It sounds cliche to say but it's true -- ALL the NPC sororities are GREAT and to put one down is to bring your own down as well.
I often find that people seem to think that sororities are the same nationwide... my northern friends certainly have negative things to say about groups that are "top tier" at my alma mater but are not as strong up there... but I think we all have to remember that every group has chapters with fabulous numbers and groups that struggle with numbers.

Along the lines of what my2cents has said, my sister is not a Gamma Phi but has several friends in Gamma Phi at Bama. She has commented to me on several occasions that they are a group of cute girls with a great sisterhood who are just taking time to build up their numbers. I think that if PNMs would take the same view instead of being so focused on things like "old row" or houses with the largest pledge classes, Gamma Phi would be able to close in on the numbers of the other houses much quicker.
