There is no way that New Orleans has more than Houston.

The city of New Orleans is listed in 2008 with a population of 311,853. The metro area has 1,134,029.

The city of Houston is listed in 2008 with a population of 2,242,193. The metro area has 5,728,143.

Since the percent of college graduates in New Orleans is only about 26%, I don't see how they could have a bigger alumni base.

Living in Houston, Texas, ATM, and LSU fans dominate the city.

As another poster said, per capita the NOLA number might be higher but the actual number of LSU alumni is going to be greater in Houston.

are we talking enrollment in Alumni chapters?

because it would be hard for me to believe Houston due to the fact that LSUHSC is in NOLA. Than again I have been revering to Houston as a black hole due the large number of undergrad friends moving there for jobs.

This is reason enough to play a Texas A&M/LSU football game in Reliant Stadium with a 50/50 ticket split.

are you one those people who classify new orleans as just orleans parish?

what are people considering new orleans? orleans, jefferson, st bernard, upper plaquemine, lower st tammany, eastern st charles?
