You know, I'll be honest. I run into brothers from other schools alot who wonder the same thing and try to emulate the houses. It's flattering. I hope it's succeeding.
I guess this doesn't help because you yourself is from out of state, but I would suggest picking a very good high school and attempt to rush very hard out of that school. I don't know if that is very common elsewhere other than the south, but I would suggest this. It builds tradition over years. As I mentioned earlier, Stuttgart (a small town in the Delta of Arkansas) kids always go Sigma Chi. Often expected to, to some degree. The same goes with other kids from the Delta. Chi-O does a similar thing. It creates tradition and a knowledge of that fraternity long before those kids in high school ever get up to campus.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
