Being from the west coast and rushing in the South

[azrolltide]

I recently chose to go to UA for college and I was wondering what rushing was like for someone that isn't from the South. As I understand it the Greek life at Bama is very traditional and they value kids that are familiar with Southern culture. But assuming that I'm not a fuck, is it still possible for me to get a bid being from Arizona? I recently toured the campus and talked to several kids involved in greek life and they told me that the majority of rushing goes on during the summer. Do they save bids or leave room for out of state boys who can only attend formal rush? I have no connections to any of the fraternities at Alabama. Also, I have a 3.6 gpa and got a 30 on the ACT if that is important.
