I only noticed because I knew everyone made quota (62) and you list had them as 61. What an undertaking you took on with your list and it was interesting to see the breakdown of IS vs OOS!
Also, Auburn is also drawing in more South Florida students because of their wonderful scholarship programs - full ride for the students that began last fall with the required stats. They get a smaller school than FSU, UF or UCF with a great student body!
True, but one thing I noticed about Auburn was the few number of out of state new members in my Chapter and all were from adjacent states.

There are several sororities at AU--KD and AGD come to mind--that have traditionally taken mostly Alabama girls.

I found myself wondering if the out of state girls were legacies.

Generally, I've been delighted about the Alpha Gam results on a personal level: an awesome girl I know went Alpha Gam at Bama, and a couple of awesome girls I know went Alpha Gam at UGA.

Just a little firsthand info about Tennessee since i felt a little insulted by the "nontraditional SEC" comment. I have one daughter there (and another in high school who will apply). My daughter had NUMEROUS friends who did not get in and ended up going to Alabama or Ole Miss. These were both back up schools for my daughter also. I was actually quite surprised when the guidance counselor shared the stats with me. Apparently Tennessee has gotten very competitive since the HOPE scholarship. I am not putting down these other great schools, but it irks me a little that people have an incorrect perception of Tennessee!

Obviously the sorority house are only now in the process of being built (they did break ground!), but the greek system there is very traditional and very competitive. There were over 900 girls signed up for recruitment this year.

Just my two cents! I attended another SEC school too many years ago to count. I can also tell you that my daughter's recruitment experience was every bit as stressful as I remember mine being. I've enjoyed reading these threads as I've had several rec girls, especially last year and this year...and I expect next year too!!
