I know. Row Week has changed. I think part of the reason is that well known country artists are way expensive. However, somehow you can still manage to get well-known rap artists for much cheaper. For example, Robert Earl Keen costs somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 (we were considering getting him for Row) but Lambda Chi got Mike Jones last year which is considerably better known for like 13,000 (they had Dem Franchise Boys originally I think). AGR had Jason Boland a few years ago and Fiji had Cory Morrow. But to get people to really come out, it has to be a big named rap star. Country artists would pull tons of people, but they're just a bit over most of the fraternities budgets.
edit: Very few of the guys actually like any of the rappers. However, girls like to dance to rap music. Guys like girls. Girls would come out in droves for Pat Green or Kenny Chesney, but just out of our price range.

Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
