Per this report, about 70% of the Fall 2010 freshman class is in state, and about 20% are from Texas, with the remaining 10% from other states.

I couldn't resist doing a spreadsheet...

Assuming the Fall 2010 class isn't drastically different from the Fall 2011 class, Texas students are actually overrepresented in OSU sororities, and Oklahoma students are slightly underrepresented. Students from other states are pretty close to being evenly represented.

60.9% in state
29.4% Texas
9.6% other states

This doesn't really surprise me. Out of state students are more likely to want a home away from home, whereas Oklahoma students are more likely to have their friends. Not only do Texas PNMs want the home away from home, being Greek is popular in Texas, the PNMs know they need recs, and they have the resources to obtain them.

There didn't seem to be much in the way of patterns as far as OK/TX/other. Only one chapter stuck out with the most OK NMs. If a chapter had a lot of OK NMs, they had fewer TX NMs and vice versa. The other states group is too small of a sample to really draw conclusions about out of region PNMs being at a disadvantage to certain chapters.

Since there is a significant Texas presence at OSU, and the NMs come from a lot of the same cities in Texas, I assume it's not much different from knowing and wanting your hometown girls. Texas might as well be in state at OSU.

By the way, when that Alabama list comes out, I am not doing that one by myself! Perhaps I could get 2-3 others to help with the data entry and then I could compile?

If I'm not mistaken, Google Docs allows the option to give others editing access to a file. This could make things easier, perhaps, especially if—assuming there were three people working on this—the groups were split equally among each. With 15 groups participating in formal recruitment, that would be five for each person assisting with the compilation.

That said, I wouldn't mind helping compile the Alabama list, no matter which way it happens. I was thinking at one time I'd seen a spreadsheet version of their bids…but just now I realized that it may have been one I made myself in order to organize them by group and figure out how many girls each group had gotten through FR.

I'd be happy to help you with data entry on that one if you put it on Google docs. Just PM me.
