Chicagoan going to the SEC

Fightirish1212 · #1 03-31-2014, 05:22 PM

Hey all,

I am currently a junior at a high school in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. I will be applying to schools very soon and have lots of interest in LSU, Alabama, South Carolina and possibly Kentucky. I believe I will also apply to Indiana U, Iowa and Michigan State but the idea of the southeast really does appeal to me. The only concern I have with the SEC schools is the supposed segregation of their fraternities. I 100 percent want to rush and of course want to end up at a top fraternity on campus. Is there any chance I wont receive bids because of myself growing up in Chicago and not in the southeast? Is there any chance I receive a bid at an old row house at Alabama or a top 4 fraternity on any of the other SEC schools? I currently play Varsity lacrosse, have above average grades. Definitely think i could get into all of the schools I listed.

Thanks to everyone who answers.

You will never, ever get anyone on GC to respond to "tier" questions. ALL fraternities have quality members and ideals. We are supportive of all of them. You should want to end up in the group that is BEST FOR YOU!

My apologies. I guess im just not too knowledgeable about this haha. Do you think being from the north would hurt my chances rushing at all?

Not at all. Over 50% of the women who pledge at Alabama are from out of state....and there are plenty of men as well.

Why is this a concern to you? What if those "Old Row" and top fraternities have only Caucasian members? Would that change your desire to join a particular GLO?
