Yall are being idiotic. Nobody said these are "southern" things. What is true, however, is that they're popular among the greek communities at the major southern universities. While I'm sure there are similar styles among NE greeks, but for the most part in the "north" (mid atlantic through northern midwest), those styles aren't as popular among our age group.
Its like this, at many northern universities, going to a party in pfg's, sperry's, a bb shirt and croakies is going to make you stick out. If you go to a bar at a big southern university wearing black pants, a vert-striped shirt with a spread color and your hair gelled, you're going to stick out.
This topic has been beaten up, but the original poster had it pretty right, with the caveat that not everyone in the north is anti-sperry, brooks brothers, etc. If you go to a popular bar around Emory, I'm sure it'll be stocked up with hair gel. Basically, what is common among the 30+ professional crowd up north is popular among the 20+ crowd in the south. Just as that makes us boring old men up north, it makes you a douche down south.
