I recognize your screen name. I've gotta figure out where.

actually jimmy buffett learned to play guitar in the sigma pi house as a pledge, then he failed out because he was playing and not going to class. Then he switched schools and pledged kappa sig
also tracy Lawrence is a sigma pi.

Wasn't Tim McGraw a Pike from somewhere in the South? But then he isn't much of a guitar player is he? Picks good looking women, though. So see, there is hope even if you are not a "great" guitar player.
Also, I must be one of the few Kappa Sigs that doesn't like Buffett's music.

Well, I gotta say that Phi Mu Alpha is definitely one fraternity where there'd be no problem with pursuing musical aspirations. 
We recently awarded a National Citation to Chicago (the band, not the city). Three of the four founding members were bothers in our DePaul chapter (one served as president). They were also honored with our version of outanding alumni awards. Ruben Studdard is a brother too.

Kenny Chesney was a Lambda Chi, I want to say from East Tennessee State. He mentions it in his song "Keg in the Closet", 'that old guitar taught me how to score, right there on that Lambda Chi porch.'
I love Kenny.

Let's clear this up re Buffett
For the record, re Buffett, from another thread:
Get over it, guys. When I saw Buffett at the University of Alabama in 1978, someone stuck a Kappa Sig visor on the end of a crutch and handed it to him from the floor. Buffett took it, looked at, said "Man I quit that s--t a long time ago, I'm a GDI!"
Get over it frat rats, Buffett has dis-owned you!
I'm not sure it could get much clearer than that.

You can do almost anything and still be Greek, including playing the guitar actively.

I thought he was a member of Phish? 
From Sigma Phi Epsilon:
Travis Rush (country singer)
Lucas Prata (House Music)
Tim Mahoney (311 Guitarist)
I'm sure there are more, but the two are the only one I could find.

It was the 70s. Being Greek wasn't the "cool" thing to do. I'm sure he pranced about in letters many times in the 1980s and since then.

Being Greek has never been an uncool thing at the University of Alabama where Buffett was flashing his GDI-ness.

Eli Young Band is a bunch of Sigma Nus from North Texas. Boyd Tinsley, the fiddle player from Dave Matthews is a Sigma Nu...
Hell.. I didn't end up pursuing music as a career, but I played fiddle in a band during part of my college and fraternity tenure. It's all about time budgeting and if you want to do it, you can do it. A couple years ago, half our house was in various bands.
ETA: Dammit.. I replied to a 3-year old thread which was revived by a troll.

My above comments aside, that's just not the case in my part of the world.

The part about the 70s? Or Buffett prancing?
But yeah, I don't know why this asshole revived the thread anyway.
