I counted it because I thought it was originally below the Mason-Dixon Line. Even if you take it away, it doesn't affect the count much because very few sororities had more than 1 or 2 chapters there. Your comment about Missouri and Oklahoma were interesting -- I know that most Mizzou people consider themselves being in the midwest, but people from OK definitely have more of a "Southern" mindset.
Having lived in Oklahoma (but not a native), I can agree with that. The southeastern part of Oklahoma is sometimes called 'Little Dixie' which generally covers the counties south of a line from Fort Smith to Ardmore. A couple of minor battles in the Civil War were fought in Oklahoma (at the time only a territory) near Atoka.
