I would agree that Kappa Kappa Gamma is probably the most well-known (especially among non-Greeks who aren't familiar with the Greek system -- most of the non-Greeks I know are only familiar with Kappa, Tri Delt and maybe Chi O) sorority that there is . . . and Sigma Chi is definitely up there for fraternities. But I don't think there's any one thing that makes either of them stand out from the rest of the crowd. I don't think Kappa has any programming that sets it above and beyond the rest of the sororities, for example. There's no way to prove whether or not its sisterhood is better than any other sororities' or anything like that.
Maybe you meant to ask about the most "prestigious" sororities? There I can see Kappa being at or near the top of the list. But as for best, it's really hard to tell. From what I can see from their website, Delta Gamma seems to have awesome programs -- but who knows how it's actually implemented at the individual schools. And the intangibles like sisterhood, philanthropy, etc. -- what criteria are we using for "best"?
I know you haven't been around this site for a while, but we try to avoid topics like this because
1) like you said, there really ISN'T any one right answer because there's no set qualifying criteria for what makes a great GLO
2) it can lead to hurt feelings
3) it's really unnecessary, since you can have a great experience no matter which sorority you end up in, national dominance has no bearing on individual campus dominance, etc., and the topic can negatively influence PNMs who visit this site and decide they're "only going to go Kappa because it's the best sorority."
Still, if you want people to continue the discussion, you should probably clarify your intent a little -- what should the qualifications for "best" consist of? Otherwise we're just going to get a thread full of people saying things like, "I had a great experience with ABC" or whatever their group is.
