I also agree with this. When I get requests from PNMs for help with recommendations, it is almost impossible to find local (and by local I mean in this state) alumnae from certain sororities that are "popular" in the South, or that might exist at smaller schools. Kappa Delta and Phi Mu ("Phi what?"), for example, are not well represented up here in the North--I have to track down friends from high school who live elsewhere to help.
