Congrats to all the girls and all the chapters!

As an aside -- for those interested in the outcome of jll's daughter's recruitment -- she continued to have a full compliment of parties to attend, evaluated and prioritized her options, and finished recruitment pledging her top pref choice. She is a delighted new member of great chapter. Thanks to her mom for letting some of us know... a happy ending!

Something I’ve noticed for years, and again on this year’s bid list, is how few girls from Mississippi appear on the lists. I know a number of Greek girls from here (Alabama) who attend Ole Miss and Mississippi State (and we are also a less populous state), but have wondered why UofA doesn’t seem to attract more students from Mississippi.

Anyone from Mississippi who has some insight?

Yeah, you're right that there aren't a whole lot of Mississippi students on the list compared to other states, but from memory of other years' bid lists, I did notice what seemed to be a definite increase in Magnolia State girls going greek at the University of Alabama this year. Mary Poppins' theory of why there aren't too many makes as much sense as anything to me.

I only knew a few Mississippi girls the entire time I was at UofA (looong time ago), but my impression of girls from MS was shaped by Sela Ward and her younger sister at the time:

All girls from Mississippi are gorgeous and accomplished.
