Honestly I think it's part of that liberal culture outside fo the south that causes anxiety about greeks.

^^^what you said
Out of my high school class (small at about 170), two of us joined sororities and only 1 guy joined a fraternity. As I have said many times on this board, it just wasn't ingrained into our head growing up.

The chapters up north operate the way they do because they fit the personalities of the universities and the people that make up their populations. If you tried to come to Penn State back in my day and tell us to start having high school "teas" and have fashion shows and resume review workshops for HS SENIORS to get them ready for rush, you would have been laughed off campus. Or if area alums had come in to tell us that they were doing that and expected to then have input on who got bids to our chapter, that would have stopped at the door, too. We had a healthy, thriving chapter of 110 (limited to total by the university) and not one of us had been "bred" to rush.
