I guess those that do are relying solely on stereotypes then unless there is someone who is really adamant about voting or SAT lessons or something.

Huh??
Ok, I gave you a personal account to illustrate the points that others made in previous posts. I guess other sororities probably do assist with move in but they didn't assist ME. Also, the same group that assisted me in getting to college was there for me the first day of college. It made ME want to KNOW MORE about the group.
I can not speak on the situattion of why some said his daughter won't be a member of a particular org. It could have been in jest, or it could have been because his crazy ex was a member of the group. The bottom line is this, joining a Divine 9 org is a extermely personal decission. I can't tell you why someone else joined DST or SGRho. But I can tell you what attracted me to Alpha. So just take it for what its worth.

I think quite a bit of it comes from how well they do nationally, but most of it is from how great of a chapter they have locally (size, achievements, how you get along with sister/brothers)

You are a member of the national org for life, and the chapter is the vehicle in which you live out the ideals of the organization. Its where you put in your blood, sweat, and tears. Its where you do the work of the org. However, chapters are not permanent. People move, but the national organization is the glue that cements all the chapters together.
I interacted with the chapter members before rush in order to get to know them. If my org only had 2 women on campus it would not affect my choice. MEMBERSHIP IS A LIFETIME COMMITMENT! It is not something that I would capriciously entertain.
