Back to the SEC. It will be more of who you know if you land in the Deep South. Not so much for the northern SEC schools.

This is an interesting distinction. By Northern SEC do you mean Tennessee and Kentucky? Is Arkansas in there too?
Your observation seems pretty valid to me although I bet some houses at Vandy are still pretty elite/ist. (It's weird that I never thought of it as being a north/south thing.The states do seem like of different "culturally," but Memphis really throws things off for me, and the Greek system at Arkansas, especially for sororities seems pretty intense.)
I think the OP is probably rightly concerned since he's kind of limiting himself to certain chapters right off the bat. If you have your mind set only on certain chapters, then I think you always have to know people already or make contacts pre-rush.
