[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some frats and sororities from some of these big state schools, particularly in the south, do prefer in state. But only some. Many others have lots of OOS students and even some where it is the majority.

So the example above is not the norm. [/quote]

M kids friends at both Texas and U of SC could only get bids at “northern” sororities. Went far away but end up in crowds from their home state. [/quote]

What’s not to understand?

It means that some kids self-segregate when it comes to Greek life.

Some sororities will be made up of girls mostly from in-state who tend choose more girls like themselves. So OOS girls may try to rush there, but they are really unlikely to get a bid.

Other sororities at that school may be quite different - more geographically diverse with girls from both in-state and OOS who continue pick new rush classes of girls from all over.

Even at my private school back in the days, there was a sorority that was mostly southern, one that was mostly NY/NJ, and a bunch that were completely geographically mixed.

Like anything else, each sorority is a group of organization that develops a culture. No one who rushes feels like all of the sororities are a “fit”.  Some kids seek a group where they can stick with people they know/are comfortable with from “back home”. Others are more eager to branch out and meet lots of different types of people from all over. There are usually options for both types of kids. [/quote]
