Greek life is huge at Alabama and it is a huge cost as well. #richkids

My kid is starting at Bama next week. I am shocked by the wealth on campus. The entire campus is gorgeous: buildings and students. The sorority houses are so picture perfect they look fake. Everyone on campus is super fit. The posts I see on the Bama moms groups indicate their homes are similarly upscale. Everyone is very, very friendly. The moms have local meet ups (including in the dc metro area). They literally offer to drive kids to/from campus, the airport, etc.

Their network is vast. The parent groups hook up kids for internships, jobs, housing, etc. It’s so unlike anything I expected.

I’ve met some kids from the Bama Greek groups, and they are very outgoing, confident, and friendly. Upperclassmen are volunteering to help students move in, move furniture, etc.

I know the Bama Rush Tik Toks are over the top. But I would encourage everyone to reserve labeling everyone.

Yes, everyone is “so sweet” on the surface. But you will never actually be their friend. Those circles are closed and they have prepped their girls for two years to rush “successfully” (staged social media, football games with social strategy, and networking to meet older girls who will then lobby for them during rush.) Their homes are nice because that’s important to southern women in general and property taxes and housing are so inexpensive, they can afford to fuss over their house with the help of their 19 friends who all own interior decorating stores and their 10 friends who all have little art studios.

weird, my daughter was in a sorority at Alabama (from the north) and has been in/to many weddings for her sorority friends, roomed with two after college, gets together with them regularly...I think you spend too much time on the internet.

No, no you didn't...you are either a troll or have zero self awareness. I suspect troll gut do have fun, there are plenty of idiots that will continue on with you.

Sorry. Not a troll.

I’m actually a liberal white collar professional who lives and works in DCUMlandia.

My bias against the state and the school has been countered by the reality I’ve observed during lengthy visits and interacting with kids and parents from the school. I’ve met a lot of impressive people in DC with contacts from Bama. The SEC network is vast. The wealth at the school is no joke. Think: summer vacations that include chartered yachts in the Mediterranean. Private jets.

I though that we were doing well financially until I saw this.

Love the fact you specify "liberal white collar" like praising UofA is some sort of miraculous leap for your "liberal uppity a$$." Do you not see yourself? It's both humorous and sad that you had warped preconceived notions of a place and subset of people. I give you credit, unlike most on this site you at least admit your ignorance and bias...doesn't make it any less sad and pathetic but deserves kudos none the less.

Anonymous wrote:I’m actually not, but that thread got me googling. I know very few people who were in sororities, but this summer two of my friends posted on FB asking for recommendations for their daughters from sorority alumnae (I did start that thread). My grandmother was in a sorority, and she made great friends, but it wasn’t for me at the time, and my college didn’t have them anyway. Now, I kind of wish I had gone to a school with them. Fomo I guess.
