I also live in the northeast and in my experience Greeks in general up here just aren't as friendly. But I've heard the opinion that northeasterners in general aren't as friendly, so maybe that's part of it? I don't know. Overall, in my experience greeks usually don't even acknowledge each other as even greek-to-greek, unless we know each other personally. When I was a neo, I smiled and spoke to every greek I encountered. After being looked at sideways almost every time I did that, I soon learned that friendliness between greeks is not the culture here. There have been exceptions to this of course, but overall this has been my experience.
Regarding the Indi-love concept, when I was brought in, I was taught, "Sigma has no brother fraternity", therefore I had no expectations whatsoever of any kind of connection with any frat. So when I encounter a Kappa I don't know, and as usual he doesn't speak, I'm not phased because I had no expectations that he would in the first place. However, if the rare occasion occurs when a Kappa, or any other greek, speaks or makes a friendly gesture, I of course return that.
