I converted the list of Auburn PNMs into a spreadsheet (colorful of course--PM me with your email address if you want it) with columns for last name, first name, hometown, state, and chapter. I discovered:
1123 women received bids
539 were from Alabama (48%)
584 were from out of state (52%)
Per College Board, Auburn has 55% in state students and 45% out of state students.
Of those out of state women receiving bids:
455 were from the South (FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN TX)
129 were not from the South (AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, IA, IL, IN, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, RI, UT, VA*, WA, WI, WV, Puerto Rico, and The Netherlands)
GA- 168
FL- 103
TN- 69
TX- 64
NC- 20
SC- 12
LA- 9
MS- 7
KY- 4
OK- 1
*While I am sure most people consider Virginia to be a Southern state, most of the women from Virginia were from Northern Virginia, so I grouped it as non-South.
VA- 24
IL- 16
CA- 14
MD- 13
MO- 9
NJ- 8
CO- 6
OH- 5
IN, MA, NY, PA- 3 each
MI, NV, UT, WI- 2 each
AZ, CT, DE, DC, IA, MN, NE, NH, RI, WA, WV Puerto Rico, The Netherlands- 1 each
All in all, there are 38 states, plus Puerto Rico and the Netherlands, represented in Auburn's 2011 Panhellenic New Members.
What's REALLY interesting is seeing which chapters took mostly Alabama women, and which have more out of state and out of South women. It's definitely NOT evenly distributed.
