Except they are not. The total number of NE kids at all the SEC kids isn’t more than 15k and it averages about 5% of their student body.

At the same time, kids from the south make up around 15% of the student body of selective northeast schools and 20% of Chicago.

Also, applications to places like UConn, Pitt, UMass, UMD exceed most southern schools by a decent margin and have seen 35% - 50% growth over the last three years.

Does your # include kids from DC, MD, and VA?

And does your # include schools in NC and SC?

I find it really interesting that dcum tends to give certain places a pass while essentially blacklisting others…as if NC and SC (and heck let’s face it, VA schools) are somehow different/better than GA, AL, TN, etc. (wasn’t this thread about AZ?).

Anecdotally, I know tons of kids from well-educated, liberal families who opted for SEC schools. I admire kids who are confident enough to step outside the liberal bubble and experience something very new and different for college. And the Greek thing is just one option for extroverts and joiners…two qualities that don’t tend to be very common in Dcumlandia.

Anyone else think it’s weird that we are supposedly outraged by judging people by their appearance, etc. except when it’s a young girl all dolled up on a sorority rush video? Then apparently it’s game on. Not nice.

PP mentioned kids from the NE, not the mid-Atlantic. SEC schools are where they are. I believe University of South Carolina is in the SEC, so there is one.

Why would I provide numbers for geographic regions that were not the subject of the prior post?

Also, it doesn’t seem any of these videos come out of Duke, UNC, UVA, Wake…so it’s hard to bring them into the discussion.

Can confirm this is not the vibe for Duke, UNC or Wake thankfully.

Anecdotes suck…so stop using them.

Our UMC DMV school has more kids going to the University of VT this year then all schools from SC, GA, TN, TX et al combined.

I don’t make many conclusions based on that and you shouldn’t based on your shit anecdata either.

So...a high acceptance rate like Alabama, ASU (who accepts literally everyone), Ole Miss (which also literally accepts everyone) and most of these southern schools (BTW, UVT is around 60% while ASU and Ole Miss are at 98%, and Alabama is at 76%), while schools like Alabama and Ole Miss rank at a stellar 171 which I think qualifies as "low reputation".

What are we talking about on this thread exactly? As you would imagine, if UVT is attracting more kids than all these southern schools combined...I didn't mention that of course there are more kids from the school going to all Ivy schools combined by a factor of 4x going to southern schools, because that's not what this thread is about.

Who will wish* they could date those girls but won't be able to get close unless they're delivering Doordash to the sorority house.

I think people are triggered by the beauty, confidence, and exclusivity (ergo money).

Fact of the matter is they're just having fun and overachieving girls at this age are geniuses at social media production and curation. It's not like they spend all day doing this.

It's also a cope to smear these girls as gold digging "Mrs Degree" bimbos. These wealthy sorority houses are full of Type A hyper-ambitious cute UMC and rich gals who will become medical doctors, engineers, girl boss c-suite track, lawyers, dentists, nurses, accountants, Hill staffers, and teachers.

Two examples on both sides of the political aisle: Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer (D), age 53, who was the president of her tailgate state sorority house, before heading to law school. Alabama U.S. senator Katie Britt (R), age 43, who was the president of her tailgate state sorority house and president of the college's student gov, before heading to law school.

UVM has a much lower % of MAGA trash so it’s infinitely better than the crappy red state schools.

Does anyone else think these posters are moms that weren't in a sorority and living vicariously through their daughters? I was in one, had leadership on Panhellenic Board, so was really into back then. In a million years I cannot fathom saying this as a grown adult lol.

If you actually got a bid was it a top house? lol

This just made it even worse, didn't think possible. You know it's the college equivalent of the man retelling his touchdown story at 40 with a beer gut, right?

Sorry you’re triggered

You mean sitting at her kitchen table talking in her submissive baby voice Katie Britt? I mean, sure, that’s check out, but no one’s impressed.

So much jealousy on here. Who wouldn’t want to be young, hot and rich.

Do you have a BA and JD? Passed the bar? Worked for a law firm? Two kids? Married? U.S. senator by age 40?

No. You're just some miserable malcontent posting on a message boarding on a workday morning.

+1. And these girls are beauty and brains and connected. They're landing the best internships and job offers, getting into medical and law schools, dating to marry the highest status boys, and graduating with honors. Think what you want but they're the total package. The ethos of these top sorority houses is ruthless Type A overachievers with a soft smile.
