Bid Lists 2011

[violetpretty]

It's done! The Alabama 2011 NMs spreadsheet.

Thank you SOOO much to DubaiSis, unarose, and myopicsunflower for making this possible!

There are a LOT of out of staters, even more than Auburn. According to their enrollment census, of the whole student body:
68% are from Alabama
32% are from out of state

Of the 2011 Panhellenic new members:
41% are from Alabama
59% are from out of state

A few things jumped out at me:
-Only 3 chapters had more than 50% of their new members from Alabama
-In total, 20% of the women receiving bids were not from the South
-6 chapters had 20% or more of their members from outside the South
-One chapter had about 47% of their new members from outside the South
-Often, the Alabama and Auburn chapters of the same NPC group tend to have the same trend of in staters vs out of staters or non Southerners. For example, AGD at both schools tends to have a lot of women from Alabama, and Gamma Phi Beta at both schools tends to have a lot of out of staters, and a lot of members from outside the South.

I had so much fun doing these spreadsheets, particularly Auburn and Alabama. We often read about how being out of state or from outside the South is the kiss of death at big competitive SEC schools...but I beg to differ!

*I considered NC, SC, GA, FL, MS, TN, KY, LA, TX, AR, and OK as the South. All other states I considered outside the South. Like Auburn, most NMs from VA were from the northern part of the state.

I think for me, especially after you shared this completed-with-stats version, one of the things that stood out most was this: that although both chapters had a good percentage of Out-of-State NMs, Chi Omega and Kappa Delta each had only 3 and 4 non-Southern NMs respectively (bless them).

I'm certainly hoping we get to analyze the geographical make-up of the new Delta Gammas (), though I don't find any evidence that a separate press release of NMs was made in 2008 for Alpha Phi, so…guess all I have right now is that smidgen hope.

Helping with this was entirely my pleasure (especially since it was for Alabama—where I would've gone if everything had lined up right, lol).

Oh, AggieAXO - I saw that you had posted and thought "YES! She will have the bid list!".

My Gamma Phi contact was told that releasing it was a privacy issue . . . but I just know SOMEONE here can get it.

Nope, I wish. It seems A&M does not like to release lists like the other schools. Most of the time to find out where girls pledged, we had to read the Battalion (A&Ms newspaper-many soroities will take out an ad with their pledges names).
