Please don't be nervous about not being from the South (although some would argue that Maryland is in the South).
60% of undergraduates at U of Alabama are OOS. In fact, there is an organization for OOS students.
3.25 IS a great GPA. Couldn't hurt to have even higher grades, so work hard and get the best grades you can!
Start compiling a list now of any sorority alumnae you run across and know. Don't be afraid to tell them that you are rushing and ask to contact them later to request a recommendation. Do this immediately after graduation, when you can compile a resume to hand them. A photo or two would be nice, plus a transcript. Those 3 things will give them all the info they need to write your rec.
Lots more info at thesororitylife.com, and a blog I like, sororitygirl101.com, that has a lot of info specific to Alabama.
Welcome! Good luck! Roll Tide!
