“Old row” superiority complex

by:    

I’m a pnm coming from CA and I keep seeing posts and comments hyping up “old row” fraternities and sororities. Why is there a superiority complex? What makes southern people deserving to be hyped up? I personally find the sororities with girls from all over the country much more inviting, but I cannot wrap my head around why being in “old row” somehow makes you a “top” fraternity or sorority. Like what makes being around all southern people so special hahah? Someone please help a girl out here

Because you have no idea what makes traditional southern girls value our way of life. It isn't superior...it is just that we want
to stay and raise our families here and continue to support our sorority.

Old Row just an extension of high school for a lot of people, they tend feel safer / more secure with themselves when they're coming into college already knowing more people than the girl next to them. To be honest don't worry much of it, only like four of the old row sororities are actually worth the hype anyways.

Pretty much, old row has a lot of girls that came from the same high school and like to cling to people that already know them. Tbh I don’t know why there’s any hype around it, but I promise you’ll do fine in rush. You don’t need to be a southern bell to be in a sorority here

The South prides itself on tradition and roots. Old Row often times is filled with legacies and girls from prominent southern families. You may want to understand a little bit about what being southern means before you head to the deep south and rush.

Old Row works really well for in-state girls who have families who attended Bama, have friendships from high school, clubs, camps and Community. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Old Row. It works well for many IS girls. OOR fit in better in New Row in my opinion. You’ll find your peeps in New Row but if you were born and raised in Alabama, it makes perfect sense to be drawn to OR. It’s really that simple. It’s not a judgment call in OR or NR. Plain and simple.

Since bama is a school in the south you’re bound to find girls and guys that center their personalities around the fact that they’re from the south. There shouldn’t be a superiority complex but they like to view “old row” as better than “new row”
