[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I grew up in Chesapeake and this was a big thing when I was in middle school in the early nineties. The grits then were the kids wearing flannel shirts, combat boots, black eyeliner, etc. There were two main groups then - the grits and the preps. [/quote]

No punks/alternative kids?

At my college there were:
Punks/alternative kids
The white Greeks and their hangers on. They would have been Preps in HS
The AA Greeks and their hangers on.
The fundie Christians
The Internationals
Grits
Jocks
CS nerds
College republicans
Marching Band 
ROTC
Non-Greek affiliated super-rich kids/druggies
Gays and their hangers on (didn’t include lesbians)
Political AAs (two groups: the more moderate was Black Student Union, I can’t recall the radical one and its name changed at least twice over four years).
Theater majors 
ABCs not in CS
Lesbians and radical straight feminists.

There was some overlap, but I remember certain sections of the quad looking like a scene from a cheesy teen movie.
