| Boys we know at bama from our NE area are thriving academically and socially! Best of luck to your friend's son! |
| What bad things do you fear are going to happen? What’s the reason for the mom, or you for that matter, being so frantic? Odd. |
It's a social fraternity! There might be girls and beer around! OP and her friend will need a fainting couch because they have no experience with college life or something. |
| This can't be real. OP, this is none of your business. |
| The young man’s #1 concern is securing good football tix. Bama is rated as having the #2 recruiting class. Roll Tide!! |
| This kid is going to succeed in life. Touse fraternity men from the SEC run every major metro in the South. Finance, consulting, government, you name it. The rich dime he's DMing with will plug him into a network that will make him rich if he plays his cards right. Mom and Dad won't be crying about their brilliant son slumming it at Bama when he's making their Bimmer payments. |
| Send him with a zillion pack of condoms because women don’t have rights in Alabama. |
Go away, geed. Just because neither you nor your kids would ever get a bid in the SEC doesn't mean it isn't a top tier college experience for kids who aren't complete losers. Look at application volume and retention rates. Kids today love SEC schools. You just don't know any of these kids because you hang around with squids. |
Touchy much? Pp didn’t even say anything about the school, just that the kid should avoid getting anyone pregnant in a red state. |

Where do you think rich people in Alabama send their kids to college?
Unless he’s Gates rich, he’s not really that rich. Alabama fraternities with kids born and raised in Alabama don’t give bids to kids from DC. He will pledge a DC based frat in Alabama with kids from Gonzaga, St. John’s, prep, etc. |
| He's going to have the time of his life. Be happy for him. |
Truth. No need to worry. He won't be in a top tier frat with the locals. |
But they are HOT. |
| I understand your concern. I don't think it's your place to get involved, but if your son is concerned too, he might gently discuss it with his friend. Otherwise, unless he's doing something dangerous or illegal, I think there's nothing to do but sit back and hope for the best. And be there to listen to and support your friend. |

Way too long and detailed to be a real post, OP. You need to learn to troll better. |
