It was my theory for a long time that GLO affiliation became such a big deal in the Southeast because for the most part, the universities (while offering strong programs and good faculty) have historically been very easy to get into. If every Joe Shmo from Hooterville can go to Southern State, then the elites need another way to distinguish themselves besides the Southern State degree.
But this can't be right, because it can be a very big deal at Princeton whether you got into Cottage Club or got "hosed" and had to go to a sign-in club. Joe Shmo from Hooterville does not get into Princeton -- or if he does, he's a firecracker talent who will not be Joe Shmo much longer. Under my theory, the Princetonians shouldn't need the extra badge of club membership to distinguish themselves, but they do, so there goes my theory.
