I'm the OP. This has gotten silly again! I was mostly trying to post to explain two things: 1. It's not just about wealth. It's about how you fit with the girls at certain houses. Without naming names, we ALL know there is ONE top, old row house that is very brand/money focused (Phi Mu) . A few old row houses that trend In that direction with a bit more focus on money without ostentation (I honestly believe old money is an exaggeration versus simply a more understated style - KKG and KD) and other old row houses that are Christian (AGD) , grades AXO) , and very in-state focused (XO). Some old row houses seem to blend these factors (DDD) in different ways, but for the most part we all know who focuses on what! Again, the point was that old row does not just mean wealth/money and notable brand names. 2. That being said, the other point is that although Alabama is a "poor" state by many measures, the University, and specifically Sorority recruitment, is not a place where if you don't feel wealthy "at home", you can arrive and expect to seem " rich" by comparison. You will find a very large percentage of girls with "all the trappings" - shoes, clothes, bags, dorm decorations, cars, great vacations, family vacation houses and money to travel to away games, fly home at breaks, and buy fantastic clothes for theme parties! Although there are aspects of this in old row (Phi Mu, KKG and KD) this is also true in new row (ZTA, ADP, APhi). More than half the girls here (and a notable number in ALL houses) will have these things. Again, not saying these are must haves or claiming this makes anyone "better or more prefered". Just explaining to girls who ask if a certain income level will seem "rich" here. I'm not trying to throw shade or be bi!!!ey. Just trying toe explain how it "really seems to be" to girls not familiar, who ask what family income will set you apart, and want to know if there is a minimal income to get into top houses.
