I fully understood that it was meant as humor, but part of all good humor is the element of truth. And in the flow of the entire multi-page discussion, it was not only meant as humorous but that there was a significant amount of truth to it. At least that was the way I read it.

As far as the north/south thing... I find southern rush fascinating. I look forward to reading the recruitment stories each year. And a significant part of what is discussed here is more southern-related. So this thread was in no way a me vs. them thread. I truly find the whole thing very fascinating.
