There are some excellent sororities that COB at Auburn due to the fact that they have seniors graduating mid year, and some girls go on alumni status for various reasons. So even if there is a top sorority that gets quota every year, they still often participate in COB to get back to chapter total after experiencing normal attrition. Auburn has always had a large number of students from GA and my understanding is, when speaking with members of various chapters, there is a higher rate of girls taking alumni status this year due to economic reasons. Out of State tuition + sorority has become too much of a stretch for some families.
