I wonder about the state distribution of women who withdrew from recruitment. The women receiving bids isn't exactly a cross-section of the student body, but it's close. I didn't realize Auburn had so many out of staters. I wonder if more women from Alabama withdrew that out of staters. If so, I'd think it's because out of state women are looking for a home away from home because they are less likely to come to Auburn with a bunch of friends, and they are less susceptible to hometown pressure to join one of a few "right" chapters. Even if a southern out of stater gets released from the "top" chapters, she's more likely to realize the value of joining an NPC sorority on a national level because they may have more knowledge about Greek Life. (i.e. XYZ might not be tops at Auburn, but it's big in my hometown and/or strong nationally).
