Less popular sororities

To get over this, we can take steps that will, gradually, likely overcome it. Not gonna happen, but it could. We (collectively) seem to prefer the status quo.

Still, none of us should be discussing "least popular" or "worst" houses - we should be discussing personalities and character of each house, at most.

I think what you are saying has merit, but since more national groups won't let a struggling chapter stay on campus forever, popularity does figure in to the survival of the chapter at some point.

And I think there's a big different between talking about it here with no chapter names mentioned that talking about specific chapters on your campus in real life.

And I think there is a big difference between discussing a struggling, or less popular sorority, and referring to the "worst" house. The one is simply a question of numbers - the other a subjective judgment.
Also, context matters. If you are trying to figure out a way to support a struggling chapter, that's good. If you are indulging in gossip just to have something to say, or in a misguided attempt to make yourself or your group look better, that's bad.
