Is Sorority Bigger in the South?

[CASIGKAP]

I was curious about where sorority life itself is begger. At my school, our Greek system is not that big even though we are working hard to bring up the #'s every year. Our pledge classes range from the 20's to the 40's. However, it seems that everytime I talk to girls from the South and the East Coast, sorority is a much bigger deal than it is here.

Does anyone else think that or am I just in a small area?

I say this b/c I had no problems pledging Sigma Kappa yet I have heard stories of girls repledging the same sorority every year b/c to them, that's the only one they would want to be a part of. I have also heard bad stories of pushy parents who get real pissy if their kids don't get their #1 choice or don't get the one their parents feel is the best.

It's weird but sometimes I think that if I were in a different state than California, I probably would not have gotten into my #1 choice of SK. I'm glad I'm here and I love it but it's definitely weird.
