So can we finally stop telling girls that if they're out of state, they've got a snowball's-chance-in-hell of getting a bid? There are many out of state girls on the bid lists of all the chapters.

Not tearing down the chapters, because I don't know the sorority tiers on campus. I don't think anyones ever said that out of staters won't get a bid. Just not always to certain chapters...it's more true of fraternities than of sororities anyways.
edit: Looking at the list and the home towns of the girls, I can immediately tell you which are the better chapters.

Likewise at Arkansas, people from the town of Stuttgart are in high demand and you can generally judge the quality of the fraternity by the amount of kids from Stuttgart it pulls.
I was impressed I saw at least three Arkansas girls. All from Little Rock, must have gone to Mount or Episcopal.

Absolutely true.

I understand exactly what you're saying.
I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all of the lists. The only info. which would make it easier to analyze would be to list high schools.
Congrats to ALL chapters and their new members.

It used to be rumored that out of state girls had a tougher time joining than in state girsl; however, there were more out of state girls going through rush than those who live in Alabama. Out of state has been acceptable for some years now.

I agree as well. I have worked with a collegiate chapter at Ole Miss for the past few years, there are plenty of out-of-staters who get into their top choice. You just have to have your recs and your act together as well! Trust me there are plenty of local girls who don't get into their top choice or even pledge anything at all. A young lady from GA I wrote a rec for this year at Alabama had a wonderful recruitment too, she got her first choice. So it can happen and I think we need to tell any out-of-state PNM that if they have their act together and their recs together things will work out!
