When I attended UA..."Old Row" referred to the fraternities more than sororities. Old Row is University Blvd. fraternities that include SAE, which was founded at UofA, and other historically "southern" frats. New Row is/was Jefferson Ave. fraternities.

Old Row sororities would include 6-7 sororities having long standing chapters at UofA, but geographic location has nothing to do with it...as I knew it waaaay back then.
