getting bid/fitting in from east coast

I'm from the north too and everyone is welcoming here.

You will be welcome here

Don't like to tell tales on GR about any specific house , but it's fair to say old row accepts a fair number of non southern out of state girls. Even the house with the reputation as the most "Alabama centric".

That being said, Bama is "conservative" with respect to values, appearance and views. Given you are posting on GR, I suspect you are in the "mold" of sorority girl and given that, acceptance wont be a concern.

The further you stray from that "preppy" mold the harder acceptance may be to find - northern or southern.

I'm also from NJ and I had no problem fitting in during recruitment. I wouldn't necessarily say you have to fit any certain type of 'mold' to join a sorority at Bama, especially since there are 400+ girls in every house; everyone is different and you'll find your group in whichever house you end up in. There are a lot of houses who take OOS girls so don't worry. Enjoy recruitment and focus on finding your home!

i'm from the east coast also and there are deffinately a few sororities that won't take you and even if they do you most likely
will not fit in well/ enjoy your time there. But, there are a lot of other sororities that take girls from everywhere and that's where I found my home! You shouldn't worry at all!
