Politically, haha. Sure it does pal.
Theres a difference here. I know some places in the world you can spike up your hair and wear a shell necklace with cargo pants and an abercombie shirt on thursday night, and then wear a suit to your interview the next day without any problem. However, if you dress like that here, you'll have problems. First, I don't know if its more intense than other parts of the country, but who you know is very important in the south. Thus, the person who gets you that interview might not be somebody you meet at a job fair, its equally likely to be someone you meet at the bar or game. Second, future interests aside, if you dress like I just said, you're gonna have a tough time being taken seriously by anyone. Girls won't really have much to do with you (especially sorority girls) and you probably will have trouble getting into bars. You'd certainly have trouble getting into a decent fraternity. Obviously, tradition is a big part of southern lifestyle, and classic and simple things play into that.
