why stereotypes?
as someone who is very unfamiliar with the southern schools, i understand that at a fundamental level there are differences in the sororal culture, unfortunately from pop culture outlets i've encountered (robbin's book springs to mind immediately)...
as for the stereotypes in the quiz, it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, as the chapters i'm familiar with are as materialistic as we are suggesting the southern schools may be, albeit with different "brands"... not everyone is gushing over lily pulitzer, brighton or vera bradley, but fendi, tiffany's, coach and juicy are just as popular as some of the things suggested in the quiz...
how much of these north v. south stereotypes are actually true? are there northern/midwestern/western stereotypes too? and what impact are they having on our sororities?
