oos houses

Don’t steer clear of any of them. They ALL have girls from far OOS. Even the ones this site try to bash as only taking Alabama girls take girls from all over. You will see when you go through recruitment.

PNM's thinking they have the ability to "steer clear" of any particular sororities during recruitment shows a total lack of understanding of the selection process. Anyone who has this mindset is in for a rough time.

Keep an open mind. If during recruitment you only meet girls from Alabama in a house, know that they're already going to have lots of friends and relatives here and be less inclined to be your new best friend. If you meet lots of girls from OOS, you might find more lasting friendships. Face it. No OOS students come to Bama with a burning desire to stay in Alabama for their lives. They're going to go somewhere else in 4 years. If you have lots of OOS friends you can get together with them when you travel. All houses have a mix of girls. It's up to you to find the right mix for you.

I thought (and probably still think) that one house in particular was “cold” during recruitment as I was from far OOS (and out of the region).

As a junior, I have a large group of friends in that house from my classes and activities.

Best advice is to come with an open mind.

I would add the rankings on here are meaningless. Particularly if you are from OOR. There are girls and experiences to be had in all houses.
