Quote - Why would we be taught about other GLOs - unquote



There you go - because you said "other GLOs", not "NPC", I read it to include other NPHC GLOs, and you've now confirmed that it is true, at least for your sorority.

I think the "South" Line stops somewhere just before Jacksonville IMO. I went to school in North Florida and our GLOs acted more like some Northern ones in that aspect.

If there's sweet tea served then it's the south. I vacationed in Miami and about had a heart attack when I found out they didn't serve sweet tea :)

I think this sums up the answer to this whole argument of North vs. South.

It's an intake vs. rush thing --- NPC/IFC "potential new members" learn about other groups ONCE they choose an org, NPHC interests learn about other groups BEFORE they choose an org to pursue.

It would be pointless to spend a lot of time going over this material; everyone should already know the basic public information of every NPHC group beforehand, so spend the time learning more indepth about your org.

Nope, it's not what you typed.

One more time from the "beginning" (bolded for emphasis):



to which i replied:

are we clear now? good!:D

I was clear back in post 121.

And back on topic - YES. It is the heat. And the humidity. Heat and humidity.

Lol, well using that logic, I guess Jacksonville is in the South! lol!!!!

I grew up in south/central florida, we have iced tea with sugar.....but I have never had sweet tea until I went away to school! Now I am hooked forever! :)

I haven't been at a computer for a while so excuse the 3-page backtrack.

We just established Junior Panhel this semester. Each chapter sends two girls, one from each of the two most recent pledge classes (already initiated). Some chapters also send various new members each week.

Florida is patchy but for the most part exclude south florida, retirement communities, and major cities. True Floridians are southerners but we have a TON of people from other places.
I really just wanted to bump this thread because I love the topic.

As a Northerner going to school in the south, there is definitely a difference in Northern sororities vs. Southern sororities. I'd agree with the fact that in the south, sororities are steeped in tradition.

HOWEVER, this is a gross generalization on my part. Individual sororities on individual campuses with different girls all make a difference in someone's experience, so please don't get mad if your experience is different!!

I love my sorority and I love my school and I love being able to have a totally different college experience then most of my friends from high school, who are going to school back north.

I believe what makes greek life in the south so good is the amount of publicity and how active they are on campus. I attend UT Knoxville and everywhere there are greeks doing different things on campus and it doesn't hurt the fact that most fraternity and sorority members of all fraternities and sororities are good looking. Hey, we know how to pick 'em in the south.

I just have to clarify (once again) that this isn't a contest.

The original question was why Greek life is so "hot" or "vital" in the South, not why it's "better." (Many would and have dismissed the idea that it's better.)

True, SGA (and almost every other campus org) here is dominated by greeks, I'm pretty sure that greeks have 100% of the SGA officers.

Is there any difference between Northern and Southern Chapters of BGLO's?
 

In response to SWTXBELLE comment
I beg to differ from most of the responses to that particular comment..... In my opinion there are differences (speaking of my org only), it depends on how you look at things. To make this as short as possible, I believe in my org the Greek culture varies from state to state, region to region. In theory all chapters in my org function in ways dictated by nationals but socially chapters are different. What more can I say chapters in Georgia and New York are different in some ways and I am not talking about how they speak. lol okay that was corny but I thought it was funny.

On my Cambria ish
