KD is not strong nationally at all....third tier sorority at best.
No chapters at Baylor, Tulane, Emory, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, TCU, SMU,West Virginia, Duke, William & Mary, Colorado, Purdue, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, USC, Pepperdine, UC-Berkeley, Minnesota, Penn, UConn, Arizona, Syracuse,Iowa..... and NO chapters at all in many states and Canada....but chapters at non-academic, division 3 schools in the south that the top sororities won't consider having chapters..
Comment#12by: It matters for first job
Your first job interviewing out of college you shoukd put all your campus involvement and leadership. That includes your sorority and offices held.
After that it looks silly putting social affiliations on your professional resume. But it helps to belong to a strong sorority alumnae to network after college.

I think you're fooling yourself if you think that your sorority is going to get you a job once you graduate. Yes, you make connections with your sorority but grades and internships are the final factor. I love greek life and I am alumni to a top tier. I am trying to be objective here. KD is strong at Ole Miss and many contacts can be made through KD at Ole Miss. It doesn't matter if KD isn't strong somewhere else. Most graduates are from the South and KD is very strong here. I know KD girls that work in NYC, California and do very well. I agree that listing your accomplishments and community service projects will help you get your very first job but your sorority or fraternity affiliation won't get you the job. Successful employed graduates are strong students that are diverse in all their talents, academic and greek life.

For those who think that pledging a sorority just because that sorority is strong in Dallas (or wherever) and those connections are the big influence in your career advancement or social status....it's time to put down the kool-aid!
Sorority life and the bonds you make are wonderful. However the truth is after many years of career, mother, wife, pta meetings, sports and ballet spectating...etc. you will be lucky to remember the names of 50% of your pledge class. Would not have traded it for the world..but you need to be realistic. The world is much larger than Ole Miss and sorority connections.

...if you pledge a sorority based on how they'll judge you at home...maybe you should attend college "at home" too... its easy to determine which chapters are strong at every major greek school throughout the country... so saying "I'm a ____ at Ole Miss" is easy for anyone to figure the pecking-order... and that door swings both ways... so if you join a chapter not considered strong @ OM...that is obvious as well... always best to join a sorority that's a good fit where you are...

Since most years, every sorority at Ole Miss meets quota+ how is it easy to determine which sororities are strong. Fairly obvious, greek life is strong at OM. But still not a huge percentage of the entire student body numbers. KD is a popular sorority just like the other 9.

...has very little to do with quota...if you're a current member @OM you'd know that...these days there are SOOOO many PNMs rushing... the process is stacked so ALL chapters get the numbers they need... no matter the tiers...so like I said... its easy to figure out the pecking order on ANY campus's these days...using quota as your benchmark doesn't cut it...
The Top-3 sororities at OM are XO-DDD-KD. Some things don't change...

I don't care what sorority is good anywhere else but the sorority I'm in right here at Ole Miss. I don't care if the chapter at SMU or MS. State or Texas A&M or Georgia is any good. Guess what, I will make connections and get a good job without relying on what sorority I was in at Ole Miss.

Texas Sucks! Seriously I would never want to live in Dallas or Houston. Big hair and flahing around new money makes me nauseous. I have never understood your states inflated ego.

By the way I looked up KD in Texas and no they are not the strongest (and truthfully they are still new in terms of sororities- like 30years old in some schools) but they are doing really well at Texas Tech= they won Deans Cup and Best sorority of the year so its mean to say that KD is not doing well somewhere. They are great and all these organizations are. not sure why someone from Texas is on here but they obviously have something to prove. I will say this if you ok on GR on Zeta in Texas - boy are they not liked- huge self rankers - not sure why- so maybe they are looking for fresh ground to put others down
