So the girls have an expensive piece of jewelry and pay in state tuition? Sounds like a bargain over paying $90K per year for some private university.

There is a reason Alabama ranks at the bottom of education

Anyone who sends a kid there is not bright.

It's completely optional. Don't like it? Don't do it.

People would spend hundreds of thousands rennovating their houses but will not consider private schools.

People who have never lived in the South might snicker at this, but this is a very smart investment, certainly a better one than spending $50k a year for a private or out of state school outside of the T30 or so.

The Greek system in the SEC, particularly in the Deep South states, is one of the most lucrative networks you can plug into. Joining a top-tier sorority at Alabama puts you at the front of the line to date and potentially marry the fraternity men who will be running the banks, law firms, and investment firms in 5-10 years in cities like Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, etc.

Just take a drive from one of those cities to 30A one Friday afternoon. You'll find yourself in a caravan of Bimmers and Cybertrucks occupied by young, attractive, successful couples and their well-behaved children. These were the fraternity men and sorority dimes of top-tier SEC houses in the 2010s, and the kids will likely pledge the same house in the 2030s.

It's a swanky and rarefied world, and becoming a part of it often starts on bid night freshman year.

Well, you don't want to miss out on the swanky and rarefied world of marriage to a frat bro in the deep South.

Then don’t rush. Not everything is for everyone.

Read the entire article as some of it includes things like food and housing. If you break down dorms and meal plan it may not be that different at some schools. It looks terrible to me but each to their own.

This is true, but many of the top tier sororities mainly take known instate girls. Very rare for an out of state girl to get a bid from those houses. Then the top fraternities only socialize with the top sororities etc.

Born and raised in the south and this is mostly bs from wealthy families. You don’t need to join a sorority to get a good job from a southern public flagship.
