I think there might be a semantics problem here. When I say "people don't care," I am talking about non-Greeks. In professional environments around the country, the chance of meeting a non-Greek is high enough that you risk the negatives brought up earlier. Now, if you're talking about joining the Junior League in any city USA, yes, you will probably encounter other sorority women and they may be impressed with your specific org based on their own preconceptions. But I wouldn't include it in an interview unless your skills learned there directly impact this particular job. And that's not really what we're talking about here.

And I was looking at the states I'm most familiar with and I think the reason I personally don't see this as much of a thing is because those states (Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana) have a lot of sororities represented at fairly even concentrations. No sorority really owns any of those states. So as a result, as a grown up, saying you're a sorority woman is going to be at least as valuable as saying you're a member of any given sorority.
