Ethnic diversity: North vs. South

Someone posted a link to the list of girls who got bids at Auburn and one thing that stuck me immediately was the WASPyness of the last names - not very many "ethnic" names at an SEC rush.

My northern sorority had (and still has) girls with names that reveal LOTS of Irish, Italian and German backgrounds, plus Polish, Jewish, Czech, Japanese and a whole lot of different ancestries. The few with traditional "English" names were in the minority. I'm guessing the sorority list reflects the ethnic make-up of the school, but it was still a big surprise!
