I know this probably isnt the right place to post this, but why is it that people view PIKE as a non-southern fraternity?
I may have answered my own question when there are chapters past the Mason Dixon.

It's not an issue of where they were founded, really...though it helps.
Pike has tended (as long as I've known and as many Pike chapters I've met) to rush athletes. Well-known for roids, tanning, spiked gelled hair, etc. like Barbed-wire tattoos and so forth. Most of the guys from the chapter here are from north Dallas/Plano area. Enough said, I think

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
