What makes Greek life "hot" in the south?

It can't just be any type of trust fund and family name, though. "Class" and "status" have never just been about objective criteria. If it was, there wouldn't have needed to be a such thing as the black bourgeoisie. Blacks from educated and wealthy backgrounds still weren't seen as good enough by whites from the same education and background.

Just something else to think about that makes these "Southern" rants very offensive and discriminatory in outcome, if not intent.

Other than that: Using Greekdom as an additional social network is cool because that's one of its many purposes and uses. How that plays out will vary, of course.
