Just because an AST chapter in Louisiana does formal rush with frills and has 200 people in their chapter and only wears sundresses to class (I've no idea if this is true about that chapter, I'm just making an example) doesn't mean they AREN'T MY SISTERS. So if someone wants to say that southern is better than northern, you're basically saying that the sisters [or brothers] in northern chapters are underneath you, and vice versa. And..that's not cool.

I'm in agreement with this.
I think there's a value in being honest about how different expectations are so that people who go through recruitment out of state can do their best in the process if they want to or understand in advance that some chapters aren't really interested in them so they can focus on the ones that are.
Sometimes people get derailed by imagining the system that they think ought to be rather than the system that IS and that's in this thread from being to end.
