I love Texas too, but I have been to NC and VA and they are high on my list of most beautiful places to live!
In NC, the triangle is really developing and there are a lot of colleges and great shopping. In VA, the college areas are fun --- Charlottesville, etc. And you would have a chance to be invloved with a collegiate chapter in the area and see what another chapter is like.
ETA - If I recall, Roanoke is pretty close to Blacksburg where Va Tech is and there is a DG chapter there. I heard the area has trouble with recruiting and retaining advisory boards because of the more remote location and graduates tend to leave for the "big city" - they could probably use you there and you would have a great experience -
