IMO, I think that the original article and the statement about Chi Omega getting respect in Arkansas goes back to the dreaded word: tiers.
I think that many people in Arkansas who are "in the know" about Greek Life will hear that someone is a Chi O at Fayetteville and think, "Wow."
There are two other Chi O chapters in the state, one at Arkansas State and the other at UA-Little Rock. Now, the girls at both chapters are great, but as 33girl said in the other thread (referring to ASA at her school and the chapter at Truman State(MO)), neither chapter at ASU or UALR are "worse" than the Arkansas chapter, just "different". I think when someone hears that someone else was a Chi O from ASU or UALR, they think, "Oh, that's nice." And, not the "Oh, how nice for you," that is a different tone and meaning.
I do think that the whole thing does come down to the perceived tiers. I honestly don't think in any state, one whole group (with two or more chapters in that state) are automatically seen as the strongest group in the state.
The same goes for fraternities. Except Sigma Chi. We're wonderful everywhere.
