[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a regional DC thing to be so anti-Greek. DMV exceptionalism is measured on academic/EC achievement with the ethos that you can climb into any white collar knowledge job you want with enough effort. Southern culture (think Alabama) is about “fitting in” to a certain social ideal as the top goal. New England is about maintaining legacy. Status is built around number and “value of” connections that get passed along each generation. I grew up New York. It was much more regionally focused where the ultimate win was a wall street job. Hence, competitive college culture was very focused on getting into the Wall Street pipeline schools and making those specific connections to support future career goals.[/quote] I’m in nyc now and it’s anti-Greek. It’s not elite enough for many, unless you’re talking Greek at Yale [/quote]
