I think his point is correct in part. Many good fraternities were founded in the south, and many of the nations best chapters are there. Southern life for women best coincides with "traditional" sorority culture, as it does for men. While I'm not limiting the decline of greek life to the north, it does flourish there it seems. I attribute the decline to the PC forced upon fraternities by Universities and National GLO's. The idea that GLO's HAVE to be diverse, that pledges should not be made to feel "inferior", are both reasons greek life is not as quality as it once was. Pledges should feel in a way inferior, as they are the ones attempting to EARN their way into the organization (that is a pledge's job, to earn his way in). Also, as to another example, I know several fraternities have replaced "christian" in their ideals, creeds, etc...with "religious." My fraternity was founded on Christian ideals, and I would much prefer that stay the same.
