This part of g41965's post reminds me of a conversation I had with my older sister's boyfriend and some of his friends that week they had Bonfire in '98. They all attended A&M, and I remember a couple of days before that bonfire, he and all his friends wore identical shirts that were maroon with white lettering that said something like "NO FRATS, it's A&M Tradition" or something like that on the back of the shirt... so g4 could possibly be right when he said what some of the anti-sentiment stems from.
