One thing that I was thinking about with this.
The fraternities founded in the South have had some level of public issue in terms of the support for the Confederacy.

I've *never* seen any public issue in terms of the confederacy in any specific sorority. I don't know if sororities founded in the south would be more likely to be the invited sorority for the Old South dances, for example.

KA's Old South was not a function with a specific sorority, whether they were founded in the South or not. It was a themed formal to which members invited their dates and girlfriends. They might be sorority girls, they might be unaffiliated women.

Thank you. I decided to look to see if any of the NPC Sororities had all of their early growth in the Confederacy like Kappa Alpha Order

I took a look through the chapter lists of the NPC Sororties in the 1991 Baird's. Manual Every NPC Sorority had a chapter outside the 11 states of the Confederacy (West Virginia being counted as Union) either in their first 10 years or the first 10 chapters (For Phi Mu and Alpha Delta Pi, the first expansion was *decades* after founding.)

Note, then I went back to look at Kappa Alpha Order, wierdly enough it *almost* makes that criteria. Kappa Alpha Order's 12th chapter (Now referred to as Nu-Prime) was at Pennsylvania College of Dental Science and lasted from 1877-1879. (https://www.lostcolleges.com/pennsylvania-dental)

Other than Pennsylvania Dental, Kappa Alpha Order (Founded in 1865) had its first chapter at a state outside the Confederacy at William Jewell College in Missouri in 1887 which appears to be about the 30th chapter.
