Seriously. You're forgetting the OTHER 3/4 of the country. And Canada. And don't forget those off the mainland, like Hawaii. Come on. What if your daughter's organization is top tier in Hawaii? That's awesome because it gives her a reason to visit.
What does that matter whatsoever?

In her area, if you're an XYZ at XYZ State, then you are on the upper end of the social scale.

It doesnt matter a thing about XYZ at any other school.
