Instead of fraternities and sororities -- let's think of the Major League Baseball teams.
Some groups are like the Yankees, or the Dodgers, or the Red Sox. Others remind me more of the Milwaulkee Brewers. All of the teams are a part of MLB.
The Yankees, for example, have a rich history -- been around a long time, many championships, multiple Hall-of-Famers, but some people just hate the Yankees.
If the Brewers ever make it to the World Series -- some will be upset because the TV revenue will not be as much, but others will want to watch just because a smaller franchise made it to the big time.

Wow.
ETA: Let's remember the Red Sox were the "never gonna make its" of the MLB for decades. And the Pats used to be an NFL joke. Both are "top tier" now, though, aren't they?

Does the World Series = colonization at 'Bama?

Oh how wrong you are....ALL of America would watch the Brewers in the World Series, because the Brewers have the best two 'young' players in MLB - Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. Mark my words here today, Braun will have more HR's than Ryan Howard in 2008.
Oldu, I like your threads, keep them coming - they keep me thinking, whereas the mindless banter threads about Britney Spears and the next American Idol pretty much bore me to death.
I miss Erik Conard. Seriously.

Except for, y'know, David Wright (25), Hanley Ramirez (24), either of the Uptons , etc. etc. etc. . . . plus every one of those guys except Hanley can actually catch the ball, while Fielder and Braun are historically bad fielders (to the point that over 35 runs worth of Braun's offensive contribution was negated by his butcher duty in the field).
Plus, historically, TV shares are not really based on team quality - so your premise is sketchy at best.
Really, this is a long-hand way of saying this:
I don't even know who oldu is, why is he apologizing? Are you an adult? This thread is absolutely ridiculous.
