You are literally just pulling nonsense out of your ass.

Duke and Vandy have a cultura/ social environment more similar to SEC schools than UPenn, Columbia or Brown. Thank God!

You are describing such a small and inconsequential life. The richest person in all of Alabama doesn’t even make the top 1000 in the US…there are literally 20 kids younger than 30 from top 20 schools that are worth more than that guy and he’s the richest.

Why would someone want to go to Alabama, go through all this just to end up at the “best investment firm in Mobile, Birmingham or Montgomery” when they could pick any number of schools and end up at Goldman or Blackstone or any number of firms in NYC that are literally a 1000x bigger.

Lol, as a born and raised 7th generation Alabamian, a 4th generation Ivy League graduate, a person who has lived all over the United States (Boston, New York, Chicago), has worked on Wall Street, and who now chooses to live again in Birmingham (yes, Mountain Brook) where I was born, I am always amused to see Yankees and morons talking so much bullshit smack about this state I dearly love.

Go ahead, think whatever nonsense you want about the good life in the Deep South. By all means, ignore the hordes of Northerners flooding down here every year. You don’t know what you’re missing. And going to an SEC school? Yes, you’re right, it only leads to dead end jobs like being the CEO of the world’s most valuable company.

As we say down here, “Well bless your heart.”

So…you left for an Ivy League college, made your money elsewhere and then returned to Birmingham. How does that story hold together?

You claim because exactly one person from Auburn managed to become CEO of Apple (the 3rd most valuable company BTW)…I mean more kids have dropped out of top schools to become CEOs and the richest people in the world…than graduated from Auburn and achieved anything equivalent.

Nothing of your own life supports your conclusion.

So why when given the choice (I.e., accepted to both) do kids pick Brown, Columbia and Penn over Vandy by a wide margin?

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.

Madam, your Cybertruck awaits!

Grad of 2 top 10 schools and the shift to SEC, Duke and Vandy is epic. The real lefties are the only ones with no interest in these southern schools . Never have seen a SEC school decal on a Tesla but loads of them on Range Rovers. Suburbans and Mercedes SUVs. There is a huge cultural divide in many full pay NE suburbs and it has definitely titled southward in our wealthy community.

DC actually had the highest %age growth in the country last year.

But NJ, MA, MD, DE, VA all had higher %age population growth than Alabama. Heck even MN had higher population growth.

However if you are actually referring to Texas and Florida…you are correct. While MS and LA and WV lost population.

Pay 90k a year for top 25 privates otherwise waste of money.
