I agree that it's gotta be hard from out-of-state. However, I've heard lots of sororities really like these girls a lot because it helps their chapter to be more diverse and to "reach out" further in the future.
We are from what would be considered a small town in alabama where most kids go to Auburn. I've heard(may not be true), that they group you in these classifications- small town, bigger Al cities individually, out-of-state etc.--to get to know you better. Can you imagine how huge that "small town" group would be in our state, lol! My daughter only knew a few girls in chapters at bama. We were able to get good recs though trough networking. So, that being said, it can also be difficult even if you're in-state from a small town far away from Tuscaloosa.
Wow, good luck AU moms! Today is finally here!!!!
