mountain brook?

I have lived on the west coast and the south, and yes my family made more money in California but we also spent more money. In Florida, my home state, my parents make less money but also dramatically spend less money. Also both the South and California have their draws and everyone should experience them before making dumb comments about both.

Actually born in Fla, very old money. Sold our plantation to "Disney" have lived in 7 states. Adult years in CA.

Still have means, but I learned Grace at a young age. Of all those places I grew learned much:
I loved the ppl from the south because they know what it's like to be a good neighbor, most are warm and friendly with wonderful social graces.

Midwest I admired the strong work ethic not going to rest until the job is done.
North, love the seasons and improved my skills to actually eat left overs because there is no take out in a blizzard. They have the most appreciation for the arts and are obsessed with name brands.

West/CA has the best weather. Most healthy people. Fresh foods everywhere.
What I like most is the cultural acceptance. You learn to look at people From the inside. No one is in your ear telling you to avoid that house.

Moral of ths post......we all bring things to the table just smile and be glad

this is greekrank, why are you on here talking about money,I know alabamas greek system is better than any greek system in the west coast by a mile so if you wanna talk about that, this is what this website is for, and you could probably afford to live here but that money wouldn't get you a bid and that's a fact

What sororities do these ladies typically bid? This seems like a parent thread so hoping for honest responses.

Truth hurts is going to pop up any second...!

I am so sorry there is not more to this thread. I still have popcorn.

You can always count on them to post something tacky like this. Everything is money to them, so they won't understand.

I have always felt that in state students resent oos, or maybe it's just the in state moms on here! The thing is that oos tuition is powering a lot of the growth of a school that we all love. And oos students typically have higher grades/test scores so we are raising the academic status of UA. Alabama residents have lower admissions standards and an easier time qualifying for scholarships so it's not as though we are taking things from in state students. And yes, we are here because we love this school. Roll Tide!

Now I'm dying for a Bama/Cali mom throw down. The competition would be like who can do makeup better, who can win at a spin class bike off, who can tan faster at a country club, etc

Alabama is the 3rd poorest state.
