I don't know. You almost have to make that determination on a per-chapter basis. Visit Edmond, OK sometime (a lot of OSU kids come from there). I was raised there, my folks still live there. Depending on what neighborhood you were from, southern type traditions were either pervasive or non-existent. Eastern and Southern OK are also very southern in culture, so it all depends. I'd say that OSU is sort of a mix of a southern and a midwestern school. I couldn't tell you which one of the two I'd call Beta. You could probably apply those midwestern/southern designations on a per-chapter basis.

I don't think you could make a good argument for not calling the OSU KAs a "southern" chapter.
