If ABC left State or Arkansas, dyed-in-the-wool Greek families remember that.

I totally agree.
I think what a few of our Southern-challenged folk (I'm originally from the South and attended an SEC university) do not realize that in many, many cases, Greek life is embedded in Southern families and society. And as such, many women would rather not take a bid to *any* sorority than a bid from one of their *desired* GLOs.
I would also like to add that there are many Southern men, like their female Southern counterparts, who know these things as well. And with all due respect, they would not *desire* that their daughters or sisters join these GLOs as well. (i.e. chapters of failed GLOs)
And please note that I'm talking about the so called "failed" GLOs on certain campuses and not any particular GLO at all. (i.e. ABC failed at Alma Mater U. therefore, my daughter should not be an ABC at State U.) Frankly, it might not be right. But as Carnation put it, I'm "not making a value judgment on this, just pointing out what I've observed over the years."
