I really think you are overestimating our flaws and underestimating everyone else's. I applied to several public schools further north with strong but 'chill' Greek systems and now have friends at them. There are certain sororities at EVERY public university known for taking girls from such-and-such suburb or such-and-such region. At schools with deferred recruitment there are sororities known for taking girls from ABC activity and XYZ sport. This happens because people go where they are familiar with and you are predisposed to be more open to those houses just like those houses are going to be more open to you. If you want a big Greek system then you have to accept that a lot of research goes into recruitment and it is easier to research the girls you know versus the girls you don't. No one thinks less of you because you are from OOS and no one is going to be like "oh, we should drop you because you are from Maine" (or wherever) but if we are deciding between you and another girl with the exact same resume as you, except we have active sisters who can promise us the other girl is a solid match but all we have for you is some recs and your social media, then YES, we are probably gonna lean towards the other girl. It is unfortunate but it is a side effect of having so many girls coming through recruitment. If you don't like it at Alabama you are not going to like it at any major public university. Just a head's up.
