Both of my girls went to out of state schools from Texas. One is at Alabama-she had a fabulous rush and there were no other girls from her school at Bama at the time. She had great grades, great activities, & philanthropy hours. I made sure she had several recs/letters from each sorority. every round she had exactly what she wanted and pledged a "great" (whatever that means) sorority there. I think the recs and resume` really worked for her and the fact that she didn't fall into any quota cuts.
However one of her good friends - who did not pull together all the recs, just concentrated on what she thought she wanted, ended up dropping out.
My other girl is at Georgia. She too - had good grades and resume`, lots of philanthropy hours. She also had good recs to each house. She had a fabulous rush. She received her top choices every round. And pledged exactly what she wanted as well. - There were other out state girls who didn't do as well, and I'm not sure what made the difference.
I think out of state girls can do well - even when far - if you do the rec homework and put together a good resume package.
