You would think that I'd say my alma mater--I'm from a chapter that was closed. But there are a few good reasons why I accept that it wouldn't be such a great idea. For one, another chapter has opened in the area, and I know that KD likes to have good local alumna support for chapters, so best that this newer chapter be the focus around here.
The other is that I think KD is too good for my school. There was a time when my chapter could have just offered bids on the basis of looks, but they didn't want that. They were strongly antihazing at a school where it's probably more of a problem than is commonly known. Other chapters at this school have frequently been the subject of disciplinary investigations, and these same groups are the ones who always make quota. On the other hand, a sorority that after KD left had a "nice girl" image and that won the outstanding sorority award a couple of years running also faced declining numbers and folded. Hell, a member of one chapter that was supposed to be suspended by the university and "not recognized" by their national won the Panhel presidency during the suspension, and it doesn't seem like anyone batted an eyelash.
So, now that I've got that off my chest...my choice is West Virginia University. It saddens me that a long-lived chapter there had to close, although there was a good reason. A longtime friend of my family had been in a fraternity there, and he mentioned that the KDs were their neighbors, which was pretty cool to learn.
