We have great students head to Auburn and Alabama from Georgia every year. I was still surprised to see that the OOS women had become the majority of the Greek system, though. I guess that's a big part of the Alabama experience, and it's good that they know it going in.

I hope that this info puts some minds at ease about it being a big disadvantage to be from out of state.
