If you are from a family that could and has bought you a vehicle worth at least $40K at graduation from high school, you are sorority well off at Bama. If you already had a $40K vehicle like for your 16th birthday, then you are sorority wealthy at Bama. I know a lot of kids don't bring cars to school and stuff like that, but this is just an example to allow you to compare and contrast. Absolutely a lot of OOS are very well off and even wealthy back home. No doubt. But living in the nice suburbs of Philly or Seattle is about the same in terms of real income as living in the nicer areas of Birmingham, Mobile, Montgomery and Huntsville Alabama. What a $400k family income can buy in the Southern states is a lot more than it can buy in New York, that is for sure. So if daddy makes a $1 million a year in Los Angeles, the actual wealth you have is probably about like the kids in Mountain Brook and the other good suburbs in Alabama. And one of the posts above is absolutely right that the truly wealthy, like really rich, usually opt to go to private schools. That said, there are some seriously rich kids at BAma and they are scattered all around, including new row. Some kids want that SEC experience and the sorority life, etc.
