I don't believe that kids in the south are raised to be greek, they are just raised differently. Having moved from PA to Atlanta I can attest to this. In the south most kids are raised in such a way that appears 'country club' to those in the north but is really just ingrained in the southern way of life. Speaking respectfully with ma'am and sir, please and thank you, and never calling an adult by the first name is as automatic as breathing. We also noticed that the kids dressed much more preppy and on the whole a little nicer than the kids did in PA. I know I'm going to catch flack for that but it is the truth as we experienced it. Having transferred to the Atlanta area with high school kids we were acutely aware of subtle differences in dress and culture and these southern kids did impress me.
