Well I'm sure you're right about Charlotte being marginally NC...However, the people I'm referring to (we have a lot of kids from charlotte, but several I happen to be very good friends with ), are I guess Charlotte high society of sorts? I'm not really aware of what social scheme exists in Charlotte, but they're very well connected and have long time NC roots. My former roommate and pledge brother's family is diehard republican, and so are the others they've introduced me to. His little brother is a soph at Chapel Hill this year, so I'll ask him about the top fraternities (we've gone over this before, supposedly there is a group of like the top 3 or 4 there, for some reason I think they even have a nickname for the top tier, but i'll have to ask)...
Regarding the conservative tendancies I allege, here is my reasoning...At most schools, especially in the south, the top fraternities consist of the most well connected, "southern aristocracy" type students, and in turn are generally fairly elitist, whether by purpose or simply through existance. Most of these people tend to be Republicans in my experience/opinion, with the exception of New England. I think this is even more the case at large public schools, because greeks there tend to have some continued connection to the university, hence them not going to a good private or out of region school. This may be kind of confusing, but if you're from one of those schools you probably understand what I'm saying.
