You can say, oh, Emory has great greek life, but the facts simply don't allow a proper comparison between them and a school like Ole Miss or Auburn. Many more students are involved in these schools, they have huge houses and even bigger operating budgets, famous alumni, etc...I'm not seeking out examples to fit my mold of what southern greek life is, the schools I refer to are the cornerstones of southern greek life. Of course you can believe what you want, but when a person on ESPN makes a comment about southern sorority girls, they're generally not referring to Emory or UT-Chatt., or Western Kentucky...

Why would someone on ESPN refer to southern sorority girls? Unless they are airing some schools powder puff finals or something, it seems really irrelevant.
