Actually, according to the FAA, Hartsfield had more arrivals/departures last year, and currently is leading O'Hare in this category again this year.

Thanks, chitown...

So Alpha...was the only objection to his post was the statistics of two airports? Also, what chapter are you from?

Beta Kappa, but I live in Charlotte, NC.

why would anyone choose to post their names? It would lead to nothing but harrassment. I am told frathard.net and the predecessor fratty.net, received daily hatemails.

Mr. Bock,

You're mixing your messages and your causes and making claims that can't be backed up with facts.

On just one of the topics, the Southern Cities you mention are great ones. I've been to all of them for business. Which one of them, in your opinion, would replace New York in terms of financial importance to our country?

I have no brief for or against any of the cities you've mentioned -- or most other cities in the South. What is absolutely BS is that everything (in any area of living) revolves around ANY single area of the country.

As I've said before, that goes for Greek Life as well. You claim facts. Let's see them.

You claim that Southern Fraternity members will have better jobs and make more money than members from anywhere else. Prove it. You claim the Southern chapters are better. Using what criteria?

"Everybody knows it" doesn't cut it here.

It's just not so.

One piece of of anything does not often make it great. It's the sum of it's parts.

I'll admit it, the world doesn't revolve around the south, large cities up north and west are vital to this countries economy. However, I don't consider any of those cities "great", or any city for that matter. It's just too crowded and too polluted for me. I like small, rural towns. Which is why I'll probably never the Georgia, much less the Southeast. I have nothing against folks who live or want to live in the city, that's what they prefer. I just prefer my house, sitting on a good 100-150 acres, and a few good dogs to run every now and again, and a good ol' southern girl to sit and pass the evening by with.

And see that's totally cool.

I don't understand people who live in NYC, but I also couldn't stand to live way out in the country either. I'd probably go crazy in the south. I fit in rather well in the Midwest and loved living in St. Louis for school. For me, it was just the right mix.

To you, the southern plantation (so to speak) is right, for me where I am is right, and for those city folk Chicago, NYC, Atlanta or whatever is right.

That doesn't make one region superior to the other just better for the individual.

My sister is having her first baby (he was due to make his grand appearance last Wednesday and hasn't bothered to show up yet), and my mother informed her that she plans to live wherever she lives, except for The South. Of course I immediately looked into the job market in The South so I wouldn't have to live near my mother. However I am the girl who planned a Christmas present gift for the previous boyfriend and the dog to Stuttgart, Arkansas for duck hunting and didn't bat an eye. Sure I'd spend my time lounging in the Peabody and going to the museums but I am not going to complain while in The South. Well except for one particular trip to Florida but that wasn't the fault of the geography or the people.
