[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about for a DMV boy heading to an SEC school? Any tips to get into a top frat?[/quote]

He won't. But he needs to be open to any of them.[/quote]

Even if he is a sporty, rich, attractive, private school kid?[/quote]

Not enough of he’s OOS and not connected. Southerners don’t care how rich you are or what your last name is unless they already know your family and status.

You can be a rich CCC member from a private school, but unless you have a social connection, it does not matter. At all.

Non-rich kids get into the best houses all the time because of their last name and who they know or because their great-granddaddy was a judge in Jackson/Mobile, descendant of a founding family for the capital city, etc. or their family used to be wealthy and lost all their money through the generations (name matters more than money.)

It’s all about who you know and who you are related to. They do not know or care about OOS country club/private school selectivity or your Mayflower last name - unless you settled in their state and deeply know locals.

That said, it’s MUCH easier for the boys than the girls.

So this is what I’m judgmental of—the fact that Greek life at these schools is primarily a way to perpetuate the Confederate aristocracy. Some real Lost Cause sh*t.[/quote]

No, that's not it. It's focused on who you know in that State. It's not North vs. South. Georgia sororities aren't likely to give a lot of weight to someone from Arkansas who they don't know.

Although coming in as a holier-than-thou liberal elite from the Northeast isn't likely to win over people from most of the rest of the country. [/quote]

Call it what you want be it’s 100% insular and yes, it’s about perpetuating the confederate aristocracy.  At least for the “old row” houses. They are prosperity Christians now. The southern upper/UM old money class will NOT go of their “roots”.  They still operate by having numerous private social clubs/groups and do not let “outsiders” in no matter how much money and status they have if it’s not “old southern money” status.

It’s not “against the North”, it’s about fiercely wielding social power to benefit their own tight circle and a complete disinterest in the rest of the country.

Who’s your daddy? That’s all that matters.
