The answer is: yes. The odds are that you will not receive a bid from an NPC group.
No sorority wants to be the second to pledge an AA. (A sorority pledged an AA in 2002, the year after the Melody Twilley blowup. That was a brokered deal, but it was a first.)
Why?
Because of the alumnae. Because of the way fraternities entwine with sororities and the whole mating thing. Because they're afraid no white woman will pledge the next go-round because of it.
If one of the "circle sororities" or "old row sororities" (UA folks will know what that means) pledge AAs, then everybody will pledge AAs. Might even fight over them. But those select groups will be the LAST to do it
Should that scare you off? Maybe. But it's important for more and more and more AA women to sign up and go through. Because you can't pledge if you don't try. Because it will remain a problem in hiding if you don't sign up and go through. Because somebody's got to do it.

Flame on, brothers and sisters.
I'm not aiming at any particular house because I have yet to know who I would fit in with and have a connection with. I know many girls go into Alabama recruitment with a particular house in mind, but I can't make the assumption that I would automatically click with the girls in the Old Row sororities. Even though, I might add, my sister is pressuring me into one of the Old Row sororities because she happens to be an active member of that particular sorority, but I am not bothered by her constant hinting.

I do very much appreciate your input.
