[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a crap school, but it's notorious for Sorority Rush. In case you didn't know, that's a HUGE deal for a certain type of southern family whose goal in life is to get their daughters and sons married to other kids of well-to-do families of the south who are in sororities and fraternities in those types of institutions. They're the state politicians, business owners and company managers of the South, and their world is encompassed within those boundaries. The rest of the world does not exist. All blonde, all white, all Barbie, of course. Brunettes tolerated, POC need not apply.

Except they aren’t.  Maybe a state politician and maybe somebody that owns some piddly business…but most of the folks with real money send their kids to the same top schools OOS as people everywhere.

There was a recent article about how some of the Bama sorority girls became famous online and earned some bucks as influencers.  Nearly all mentioned how “great it was to not have to take any loans” and graduate debt free.[/quote]

Not really. In the south, flagships are considered equal to private. I’m sure Bama parents own more successful businesses and have better political careers than you lol [/quote]

First…most of the families at Bama are from OOS, so of course your premise is flawed.  But it’s easy enough for you to look at the matriculations from top Alabama private schools and see most (like 85%) of the kids go to school OOS and most to private colleges.  I work with one of the richest people in Alabama and his kids go to Vanderbilt and Princeton.

You don’t actually appear to know anyone in the south.[/quote]

Anecdotal bullshit [/quote]
