Southern Greek Orgs - Prestige?
This is a really silly question, but I am curious!!! I've heard how competitive recruitment is in states such as Mississippi, Louisianna, and Alabama. That some girls are double and triple legacies to sororities within the south and recruitment numbers can go up to 1200+ (NPC).
So where does the huge draw come from with those states? Is it old family money? Does it have to do with Cotillion and Debutants? Is it that sororities were historically recognized (and still can be) and considered for high society women?
Someone recently told me that struggling chapters at some of these large schools just need to get some "old money" and prominent girls to survive. Is this really true? It seems incredibly superficial to me, but it also sounds like such a different sorority culture than what I am used to.
Anyone have any comments?
