Old-School Greek terms wrong?

OK, well, I'm calling you crazy.

(1) I think it's always a mistake to revert to emotionally charged statements when you're attempting logical debate.

(2) Probably coining the phrase "New Jersey-an" as a deragatory term isn't going to send the conversation in the direction you want it to go.

(3) If you ARE going to make those arguments, and you want to maintain what I'm guessing is your attempt at an elite tone, you should totally make sure you run the post through spellcheck first. Most people will forgive the odd spelling/grammar mistake, but making one when you're talking about how stupid/trashy/etc. someone else is pretty much counts as an invitation for ridicule.




That said, you have an interesting argument, which is basically that Greek life (while refined in the North - a lot of very good groups were formed in NY, for example) has suffered from the amount of attention it's received nationwide - and its being pushed at schools farther north.

From what I can tell, you're trying to say that Southern culture (overall) continues to be substancially different from Northern (or Midwestern, etc.) culture, and that Southern culture is more suited towards the ideals of Greek life that were more or less cemented in during the arguable heyday of Greek life in the 40s/50s.

It's an interesting argument, and I'd love to see a thread on it. But you're really swinging at it like a blind kid at a pinata.
