Clothes do tell alot about a person in certain circumstances, but no not on that basis alone obviously.

I also want to know about this sweeping generalization that all the northern chapters have no standards and will pledge anyone - what is this based on?
www.greekchat.com...you should check it out sometime. It usually reaffirms my sweeping generalizations.

Running into a few brothers from northern chapters you don't feel would make it on your campus? Are you so sure their standards aren't different, as opposed to inferior? (I know - it's a rhetorical question)
I've already established they were different. By our standards, inferior.

Fraternity life is so much more than just brotherhood.

It's regional tradition, rites of passage, a status symbol, a method of gaining wealth through connections and so on.
