Totally agree with the comment that this is a "tongue in cheek" article that is spoofing sorority tiers at Texas. I would suggest that you also read "The Southern Belle Primer or Princess Margaret will Never be a Kappa Kappa Gamma" for further such reading. These are meant to poke fun at southern life, etc.

And, unless I am mistaken, those of us from the south on GC are able to recognize a stereotyped, over-generalized, one dimensional version of ourselves and laugh not take offense.

But let's not get into a "southern vs northern" Greek discussion, please.

I don't think discussing national sororities' regional reputations is any different than discussing a national company who may or may not do business in your region. i.e Bank of America, Dillard's Dept Store, etc.
