I'm not sure it's a "stupid Southern thing" or not. In my chapter, we are not supposed to drink, smoke, or cuss in our letters. We also don't cuss in our chapter room. However, it's not something for which you'd get sent to Standards, just kind of a guideline that everyone follows. I only smoke when I drink, so I have never personally had a problem with it.
If I saw someone else smoking in their letters, I would be surprised but I probably wouldn't think, "Oh, how tacky."
I think situations like OTW's are ridiculous- masking tape, etc.? Not necessary. I'm not against the rule but I don't think it should be exaggerated to the point where it becomes a main focus. If girls smoking in letters are your biggest standards issue, hats off to you.
