Old Row only exists at Bama. Other SEC schools are just copying for clout. Short version: There used to be one street where all the fraternities at the time were located (the older ones on campus). Then another street was opened up for more fraternities (the ones who had since come on and were newer). So they were just called the old row and the new row for identification. Then it gradually turned into people using the terms Old Row and New Row for prestige, like Old Money/New Money. Then there was a party that some 'old row' fraternities would throw and invite some of the sororities but not all of them and people started referring to the sororities as old row just for that reason. So the term Old Row means something for fraternities because of an actual street, the row. Anything else is just copycat.
