In the Southern Belle Primer Book, the sorority chapter is a relatively short read, but the sororities that are mentioned by name in the book are:

Kappa Kappa Gamma
Kappa Alpha Theta
Pi Beta Phi
Delta Delta Delta
Phi Mu

I was kind of surprised that Alpha Delta Pi and Delta Gamma aren't mentioned by name in the book, given that they were both founded in Southern locales.
I think I've posted this before, but Alpha Delta Pi has a very strict policy about its name being in any publications without permission, which explains their omission. It's probably a remnant of the "a lady's name never appears in the paper except when she's bred, wed, or dead" concept.

Founded in Georgia in 1851 as the first secret society for college women would certainly qualify ADPi as a Southern sorority - especially if you're counting Phi Mu!!

Oh, I'd count Alpha Omicron Pi, too. It may have been founded in the North, but most of their chapters seem to be in the South.
