When I was an undergrad, out of state students were almost unheard of at Ok State.... except in certain majors such as vet med, forestry, fire safety, etc. However, now I see many Texas girls listed in the sorority bid list...... Who doesn't love Texas girls?! I am very glad to see them. They add spice and diversity to the mostly in-state chapter rosters.
Besides, what public university doesn't love to get the talented men and women who are in the top 15-20% of a neighboring state?
