it's interesting. my daughter signed up for the ACT and I've gotten 4-5 pieces of mail from Alabama(among a tons of other schools). they are recruiting hard. Not sure if just in LA though. I'd disown her if she went there, but i can see the desire to escape LA. Fortunately for me, I've been brainwashin her to go to LSU since she was in the womb. TOPS, biotch!

LSU is like high school all over again for private school BR kids. The reason I went to Ole Miss was to get out of BR and do my own thing. Nothing really groundbreaking as to why kids leave their hometown for college.

If I had college age kids I wouldn't let them go there for anything. The drugs are unbelievable, it's a bad combo, kids with money to blow and good supply of drugs? I have never seen a school have such a drug problem among their Greeks. Trips to rehab and over doses are not the exception up there.

Seems as if there's not as much institutional hostility to the Greek system there as opposed to LSU.

It isn't just BR really. More than half the incoming class is from out of state now. Alabama kids are the minority.
