Old row does not mean the oldest sororities. ADPi and ZTA were the second and third houses on campus and they're not considered Old Row.

It means they are sponsored by Budweiser and have maybe one more party a year due to Budweiser,with the other old row sororities and fraternities. The sororities that aren't apart of it arent because their nationals are strict and don't want their sorority associated with a alcohol company.

It's just the sororities and fraternities that have a lot of old Alabama money, legacies, and in-state members. They're easily the richest sororities and fraternities. The Budweiser thing isn't true its just that they used their logo.

Dz and pike are both old row but since old row house are sponsored by Budweiser they can't hold old row status. Zeta isn't old row because first they were a MENS fraternity and then they became a sorority

Old Row actually refers to the fraternities that were located along University Boulevard. They were the oldest fraternities at the University of Alabama. As the Greek system grew, the newer fraternities built houses on land located behind the current SAE house. The houses located in that area are New Row houses. Sororities were never Old Row or New Row until a beer company recruited a group of organizations and sponsored an "Old Row" party.
In the past three sororities were referred to as "First Circle," they were KD, DDD, and AGD. It reflected their location on sorority row.

front row, Phi Mu Kappa and Alpha Chi which also has a party. I've been to both and would rather go to front row any day but that's just my opinion.
