All of these Old Row houses are on University Blvd. but bring on University does not guarentee Old Row Status. New Row has more fraternities but Old Row has more members.

Hello fellow DG!
In this case, "Old Row" refers to the original LOCATION of all the fraternities, which was generally on the south side of campus around the stadium. "New Row" refers to the area on the north side where fraternities began relocating/locating back in the 1960s. It doesn't mean the "Old Row" subgroup of fraternities and sororities that pool money for their "special" T-shirts and "special" parties. That is a pretty new phenom.
To BamaDad DZ (yeah! my daughter is a Bama DZ): registration has not yet begun for sorority recruitment, so no way can ANYBODY be signed up yet, much less 2,000. There may have been a figure thrown around for how many freshmen have been accepted for enrollment in fall 2007 (which is probably way bigger than 2,000 already).
To Banditone: No, there are no plans to relocate FRATERNITY houses from the stadium area to the other area. In fact, the DKE house was acquired for stadium expansion and the DKEs are building a HUMONGOUS house across the street from their old location. Beta Theta Pi is building next to them...they tore down their old house and are building a MUCH bigger one. Relocating sorority houses...it's possible the Kappa Alpha Theta and AOPi houses will have to be moved, but it will probably be a few years before that happens. Expansion is complete on that side of the stadium. There might be something in the next couple of years on the south end zone (where my Tide Pride seats are located - yikes!)
