sister who wants to deactivate to join another sorority

[33girl]

I did not mean that comment as negative toward the South in ANY way...it is just a fact that sorority connections are taken more seriously there than at other places and ergo, people would be more motivated to make the "right" ones.

This happens in other facets of life too - such as people taking a lower job in a prestigious company just so they can say they work at that company, or athletes transferring to a football or baseball "powerhouse" high school where they know recruiters will be hanging around more than Bad Athlete High where they should be going.
