From what I can remember from the process many, many years ago, there was always someone pulling for someone from their hometown, cousin, etc. All that means is when the tough decisions come around regarding cuts/quotas, there are so many great girls who slip through the cracks because no one knows them very well.
This is not just happening to out of state girls. In the past few years, the girls from our HS have had the same experiences, although last year was better than the year before when only 4 of 12 received a bid. The HOPE scholarship and the rampant growth of metro Atlanta has really had an effect on the sororities at UGA, IMO. There are now huge blocks of girls from the suburban Atlanta high schools who back girls from their high schools, and so on and so on until there's no room for anybody else.

For the first time in five years, I don't know a single girl going through recruitment at Georgia, Alabama or Auburn.
