Personally, I've always considered ADPi, Phi Mu, KKG, Pi Phi, and ChiO as "the" Southern sororities, with the Farmville Four thrown in for good measure.

The thing about KKG, Pi Phi, and Chi O (and Tri Delt, as someone mentioned above) is that while they're strong in the South, they also have a lot of chapters spread out just about everywhere, so I wouldn't really count them as "Southern sororities" per se . . . whereas Phi Mu and ZTA at least seem to be concentrated more heavily in the South.
But you're right, it is all in the eye of the beholder. I've attended two Midwestern universities and my perceptions are definitely based on the chapters that are there and at schools around here.
Alpha Phi and Gamma Phi Beta strike me as very "Midwestern" sororities -- Gamma Phi Beta has a bunch of chapters here in Wisconsin alone.
Can anybody think of sororities that would be considered "West Coast"? -- because I can't. Probably because no sororities were founded there (at least, I think there weren't any).
