Well, I would say in lots of ways and cases yes, in other ways and cases no. I mean, as many of us know, lots of established families in southern states like their kids to carry on the tradition of joining XYZ GLO at the state university to keep the bloodline going, so to speak. Of course I'd say it's also true that with many of those kids and their families, it's so taken for granted that by the time the kids get to college, they don't much think about it, they just do it. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Also and on the other hand, OOS students are much less likely to know anybody coming to school and often look at going greek, as a matter of fact, as the easiest, quickest way to make friends and have a support group.
