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.

I think this probably actually does happen to a point - as in, all the kids from [name high school here] that go to Penn State might end up at a certain GLO just because they see a person they know at rush. The thing is, if your high school is big enough to make a dent as far as a fraternity's numbers, it's doubtful that everyone from there will go Greek. Our high schools range from graduating classes of 30 to 500. Yeah, my sorority pledged everyone from Curwensville High for a few years - but that added up to only like 10 people because that's all that came to my school!!
Honestly - I think what you're talking about happens more up here with athletic teams than fraternities.
