why is the number of in-state girls so important?
by: OOS?Hey! I'm from OOS but coming to bama in the fall. I noticed a lot of the rankings here hugely value high numbers of in-state girls. I personally don't get what being from in state or out of state has to do with what you bring to a chapter? Why does that factor into rankings?

OOS - usually better grades, more diverse
In state - as above posters said, better retention and better connections.
Connections are also important because that means actives know what kind of person you truly are before recruitment. It's easy to put on a facade of being a good person before recruitment (cough cough...) but if you're going to college where 50% of girls from your high school go, they will know if you can hold your own at a party or if you'll cause a lot of drama. But that doesn't necessarily mean you need to be in-state to have those connections. Girls from Georgia or Texas still have those in-house connections, just not to the point of certain towns in Alabama that are essentially feeders to certain chapters.

it'll look bad to a lot of people they know. oos girls won't really have anyone they know find out if they didn't pay

Your second paragraph, sure. The first— I really do not understand why people still think old row houses don’t take OOS girls. They do, and they take a lot!! There are a lot of OOS girls in my house who hold grudges because certain houses dropped them “for being OOS,” when in reality they could have been born and raised in AL and still not gotten in. The top two houses, for example, are probably more than 50% OOS with a lot of those being out of south. I really don’t think there’s any excuse anymore.
Also if you think there are no OOS girls who think they’re superior to Alabama girls you’re kidding yourself. I have heard some heinous things said about southern girls and the south in general (from girls in my own house even) and it shocks me every time.

It's much easier to get into ANYWHERE as a transfer student than as a first-year applicant (trust me, I almost transferred from UA and got into some crazy competitive schools with an iffy GPA, so I know.) PSU's average admitted GPA is around a 3.6 for high school students so I would not be shocked if you could get into it with a 3.0 or 3.1 as a transfer, especially if you are in-state.
