Go Tigers! I'm a rising sophomore at Clemson also going through recruitment this fall, and my friends in sororities haven't made any sort of deal about where I'm from. I'm a Northerner too from a state which is far more uncommon than NC. You might hear that some chapters are more Southern than others, but every single one takes girls from all over the country, not just South Carolina. Lots of Clemson students are from NC (I believe it's the #2 state in enrollees after SC but don't quote me on that), so you should be fine! PM me if you have any more questions
