Generally speaking, OR houses tend to have higher retention rates than NR houses. HOWEVER, a HUGE reason for this is because OR houses have a higher amount of instate girls who view Greek life as a status thing. It's hard to explain, but a lot of instate girls still have very antiquated views on Greek life. Their mothers and grandmothers more than likely went to Bama and were in OR houses. These girls are now legacies and they've known they were going to be in XYZ before they ever even applied to Bama. These girls go into rush knowing they're getting a bid to XYZ, either because they're a legacy and/or they have in-house connections - mind you, OR houses are basically high school 2.0 for instate girls. Anyways, this effects retention because these girls feel like they NEED to be in XYZ.
