@paytooon My D will also be an OOS, Honors College student for fall 17, and will not be rushing. She had reservations at first about the perception of heavy Greek influence as well, but after 2 visits, is comfortable with her decision. Something that helped in convincing her was following the many UA social media sites for the school in general, as well as different groups she is interested in. There seem to be so many activities and options to get involved outside the Greek system!

Also, once your housing deposit is done, you can start looking at profiles of potential roommates that match up with your questionnaire results, and many specify whether or not they will be rushing in their comments, so you can use all of that info to find a roommate that suits you. Or use the Facebook option, as suggested by @lhtanh98 . (If anyone has suggestions on Facebook groups to help with this, please let me know!) D will also be trying to attend Alabama Action or Outdoor Action to make some friends before school starts. Good luck!
