University of Alabama Recruitment 2007

Oh, I don't know. Check the new member list...most all the groups got a large percentage of out-of-staters. Of course, the entire freshman class has WAY more out-of-staters than it used to, thanks to Dr. Witt's push to enlarge the student population.

Yes, that 10% discount for Alumni children for out-of-state tuition is going to help me SOOOO much when my triplets go to college...

I looked at that list and I couldn't believe it - a girl from Indiana, PA is pledging Gamma Phi Beta!

If she comes back up here and visits her Greek friends at IUP she'll have total culture shock, for sure!!

We tend to get a handful of Midwestern, Northern and Cali girls each year, oftentimes from states with single-letter GPhiB chapters... some are legacies! Thank you, Dr. Witt, for practically handing us the out-of-state girls that Old Row doesn't bother inundating with letters each spring. (Not that we don't write letters, too...) Most members of our pledge classes are from Alabama and Georgia, but GPhiB (and some other chapters too) can proudly say that we don't limit PNMs geographically.

it certainly makes the chapter more interesting when members are from different geographic areas.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Even though half of my chapter were from Ohio, we had several girls from surrounding states (or course), the east coast, Texas, Florida, even from England. You bring another level of diversity within a group this way.

I know a couple of houses at our school avoided pledging girls from outside of state fearing they wouldn't be able to recruit "the right girls" as well. I thought this was very narrow-minded. Just because you don't know a girl from high school, doesn't mean you are not going to connect with them during recruitment.

does anyone know if gamma phi beta at university of alabama is doing cob this spring?
what about other sororities on campus

Your best bet would be to call the Greek Life Office and ask. We don't know which ones are participating.
