Bama recruitment in the "off season"

[srmom]

One thing that's different with my kids and their friends (living in a big city as opposed to a college town) is that more social life actually happens on campus because it's not so easy to "go out" in Atlanta as it is in Athens where everybody has a fake.

Oh, they probably have fakes in Atlanta too, they just don't work at the "good" bars - my son has had 2 fake id's confiscated on 6th Street in 2 years, consequently he spent most of his time partying at the fraternity house. Now that he's 21, he's crawling the bars with his "of age" buddies.

Austin- 656,562 souls, percentage of Greeks at UT - 11% (according to Wikipedia); whereas Dallas - 2,412,827 souls, percentage of Greeks at SMU - 30%.

I think it is the culture of the university that dictates the size of, and enthusiasm for being a part of, Greeklife.
