LOL "one ball system."
I can't say why that is the tradition, but I don't think it is 'reverse snobbism'. I suspect that it is a fairly old and relatively small school that predated most fraternities. Many of the houses that are strong there are very small nationally and many were local societies before affiliating nationally. There are also many other social organizations that have members from many houses (and independents). I can't really say (and that isn't the only unique tradition), but I do not think it is anything other than local tradition.

In any case, I am not trying to justify it--just pointed out something a little different. It is interesting that I was attacked for it and accused of being an elitist snob just because it doesn't fit into what everyone's idea of what a fraternity should do.
