I can't speak to the SEC. . .but as far as the south goes, I think you will find some members and some chapters that fit aspects of the stereotype you mentioned, but just as many if not more that do not. Also, in my many years of living in New Jersey I found plenty of snobby people.(!)
Human beings are human beings. Name an aspect of human nature, good, bad or indifferent, and you can find examples of it in ANY group you care to name, be it the PTA, the Elks, or the Safety Patrol.
The problem witih stereotypes is not that there may not be SOME truth to it - it is that they are not the whole picture. Gross generalizations are always going to fall short of reality.
