[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Certain frats won’t take kids from OOS.[/quote]

At some schools, the OOSA kids are a hot commodity in Greek life. [/quote]

Not at schools in the south[/quote]

As someone who went to school in the south when there wree far less OOS students, this isn't true.

Everyone struggles to some extent to make their first friends in college. Some join Frats/Sororities for instant friends. Some have to work a little harder. But where you are from DOES NOT matter. It's how engaging you are with others and how much you put yourself out there. Friends take time and work to build.  It may appear at times easier for students who are coming with a few classmates from high school just because they have people to hang with from day 1. But those high school circles break by the end of the first semester as people make friends for reasons other than geography.[/quote]

This was a response Greek life not in general, you didn’t copy what the response was too. Kids should go in eyes wide open that being from the North out of state is a big disadvantage. My DDs friends were all shut out of sororities. This was at UGA, U of SC and UT Austin. These are women who are pretty, blond and out going that would think are a shoe in for greek. Don’t fool yourself to think it doesn’t matter. It does. [/quote]

If they were at UVA, they'd have probably gotten into the "top" sororities, which are filled with private school kids from the northeast. My niece attends (from CT) and got into the top house. So it all depends on the school.[/quote]
