State highway 30A along the beaches of the central panhandle of Florida. Disneyland-like planned communities that have popped up over the last 30 years. There are about 10, specifically between Santa Rosa Beach and Rosemary Beach. Big destination for UMC families from the south and Texas. Sort of like the Hamptons but more family friendly, less sophisticated, more manufactured, and more MAGA.

30A sounds like a bra size!

The Greek system in the SEC, particularly in the Deep South states, is one of the most lucrative networks you can plug into. Joining a top-tier sorority at Alabama puts you at the front of the line to date and potentially marry the fraternity men who will be running the banks, law firms, and investment firms in 5-10 years in cities like Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, etc.

Just take a drive from one of those cities to 30A one Friday afternoon. You'll find yourself in a caravan of Bimmers and Cybertrucks occupied by young, attractive, successful couples and their well-behaved children. These were the fraternity men and sorority dimes of top-tier SEC houses in the 2010s, and the kids will likely pledge the same house in the 2030s.

It's a swanky and rarefied world, and becoming a part of it often starts on bid night freshman year.

Is this a parody? I can't tell.

Vandy - yes. Duke - no. Both great schools but Duke isn’t called the University of New Jersey at Durham for nothing. It’s nothing like an SEC school. It’s just Duke.

Agree…Duke does not have a SEC cultural environment. It is heavily NOay white Christian Southerners (northeast and CA heavily represented, lots of Asian kids and Jewish kids) and frankly many of the Southerners on paper are not very stereotypically Southern kids…they’re like the kids of someone who moved their family from the NE to North Carolina to work at Bank of America or at a hospital.

The urban areas in North Carolina have became more “northern” in the last couple of years. The State is doing incredibly well which has attracted outsiders. Charlotte is never ending Apartment construction due to all of the growth.

yep. Won't be long until all of the counties north of Wake become blue.

This makes me so sad. I grew up in North Carolina. It's a totally different place than when I was a kid. Yankees can celebrate all the changes, but it's crushing to a lot of people that grew up there. Of course, I don't speak for everyone.

I'm spending double that for a semester of private college. Who's the dummy?

That. Right there. That’s what’s wrong.

Why is it “wrong”? It matters to a very few girls in a very niche community. There are tons of other communities and niches out there if this particular one isn’t your thing.

Do you really think New York is any better? The styles and brands may be different, but you’re being judged on them professionally and personally just the same.

Yankee is a common term, just not spoken when you're in the room.

Hey you have something in common with the people who are unhappy about the gentrification of Chocolate City.

This sounds like arranged marriage where the girls are groomed at an early age by their parents. And worse, Their value comes from who the husband is. Curious what the cheating rate is amongst these marriages.
These girls being told their whole lives they aren’t as important as men. So they believe it and become MAGA women and vote against their own interests and vote to make life worse for all women. Sounds like a cult and I hope some of the girls break free and stand up for themselves.

The last thing in the world I want is for my daughters to marry a racist rich southern boy, be a stay at home mom with children in her 20s, and have to live in Alabama and vacation in Florida. That's my nightmare. I really hope my girls don't make this choice, gross, gross, gross.

Almost as gross as labeling someone racist because they’re southern. Gross, gross, gross.

It does give us an accurate gauge of PP's intelligence, so useful in that respect.
