You can look at the list of new members in each chapter from last year, and you will see that OOS girls are very well-represented (cities not followed by a state are in Alabama):

My observation in general has been (even from waaay back) that older chapters with in-state strongholds tend to have more in-state than OOS new members, while newer chapters may have more OOS than in-state.
I did a quick count of the Alpha Phi new members on that list, for instance, and found that about 36 of the 95 new members were in-state, so the majority of new members were OOS. Alpha Phi is a new group to UofA -- about 4 years old now.
