Cosign!! I know a handful of girls who ventured to Bama (and Auburn) from my area (I'm from Florida). Those who ended up joining chapters have said that this was actually a significant reason for their respective chapters' interests in them. Of course, FL and AL share a border, so I'm not sure how out-of-region PNMs fare, but I would imagine there could be similar reasons for an interest in out-of-staters.
I would also venture to say that perhaps a strong/sparkling out-of-state star PNM could actually stand out more in recruitment and be remembered by the sisters during their selection process after the rounds, as opposed to a middle-of-the-road PNM from a well-represented area in AL.
Also, and I know many have said this before me, but I am THRILLED that Alpha Phi is colonizing at Bama!!! My two loves, the SEC and Alpha Phi, become one. *swoon*
