I definitely agree with you to an extent, but, as mentioned above, there are certain sororities that, while they are very strong in the South, are also often just as strong all over the country -- the four you mentioned, with especially Kappa and Chi O, being some of them. So while I would definitely see those as strong Southern sororities, they're definitely not "primarily" Southern sororities the way I would classify Phi Mu or ZTA.

I can only give an opinion, from someone inside the South, of what WE consider to be "Southern" groups. It may be that someone from the NE or the Midwest would not look at them the same, but that's how we see it. For example, I would never have placed Zeta in the group of "Southern" sororities.
A sorority may be strong everywhere it has a presence, but still viewed by those within a region as having "the biggest" presence there. In reality, almost NO sorority could ever be viewed as regional if it is discounted from the analysis because it is also strong elsewhere. I never said these sororities were "primarily" Southern - only that they are the most "Southern" of the bunch.
All I can provide is a viewpoint shaped solely by experience with the major Greek systems of the South as to what we (I) would consider to be "Southern" groups. There can't be right or wrong answers on this question - just perceptions.
