I am from a very liberal area of the Midwest, and even though some of us are the wicked "L" word, we too have traditions and values. I reminds me of the Murphy Brown/Dan Quayle debate on family values.

There are areas of the midwest that is considered Conservative, but the residents are very poor and uneducated, just as other areas are wealthy and educated. And, the South is considered Conservative whether people are Greek or not. Just look at the Red/Green maps from the last presidential election. I agree with what is said about depending on the area of the country or the house.

One the reasons I joined a sorority was the opportunity for leadership, and last I checked there were both Conservative and Liberal parties in leadership roles of the government. Another reason I joined was the ability to be an individual part of the whole. Maybe it was just my sorority, but my sisters allowed me to be me, and they didn't just accept it, they embraced it. It was a wonderful experience.
