Face it, if there was such a thing as "best sorority nationally" there would be a sorority with NO closed chapters. That sorority doesn't exist.

Yes. And it would be totally inappropriate for me to judge another chapter or sorority when my own chapter has closed (which I discussed at length in another thread I started a long time ago). And I mentioned in this discussion that it was not a "top house" on campus so I'm hardly looking down my nose at others from my own perceived elite status.
My point was that when reading these rush stories about how some women (and in some cases, their mothers) are dead set on getting into a particular sorority on a particular campus, it varies so much from campus to campus as to which sorority is "the one" that the women are gunning for. Reading those sorority descriptions from that Texas magazine was just really fascinating for a Yankee with no southern sorority experience.
The same thing could be said about sororities with which I have no experience. There are a number of NPC sororities with which I don't think I've ever had any interaction. They weren't at my own campus and I've never met anyone from them in real life. So those too are groups that wouldn't automatically come to mind. I'm much more apt to think of the chapters on my own campus.
So, to go back to my original point... The way we think about things is greatly influenced by our collegiate experience, our alumna experience and our geography.
