Seriously?

Agreed that most, if not all, of the areas surrounding Tyler are rather redneck. But most of south Tyler has the qualities of what those on this thread seem to hold so dear. Talk about "Old Money..." um, oil anyone?

Also, does the term "Rose Festival" mean anything to you? Talk about an old Southern Tradition that is just reeks of Old Money. Everyone knows the title of Rose Queen is bought and not won. And the Queen's coronation dress costs more than most people spend on new cars.

Are you from Tyler? Definitely haven't seen the Rose Fest spoken of on here before.

I was an escort in 2004. You do it your sophomore year of college. Absolute blast.

As far as the queen......that wasn't always true. For a long time she was always chosen from families who have had long histories in Tyler. Not so much anymore. It really is getting to be about who can afford it.......and the prices are astronomical for the girls. Us guys need a few suits and a tux.....no big deal. I believe the queen's total our year was upwards of 400,000-500,000$ including ball gowns, dresses, the queen's dress, parties, etc. etc.

Like I said, there are nice parts (basically most of the Lee High School area) and not so nice parts.

The Rose Festival is a pretty big money thing, but not any more so than, say, debuting at Idlewild.

Word of advice sport. You ignorantly talk like this during rush down here and I promise you, good houses won't give you the time of fucking day. For one, you sound like a prick. Two, there are a lot of guys in some really good houses at UT that are all from East Texas. I'm sure we'd all love to hear you tell us in person about the "redneck capitals" that we are all from. All you are doing here is making yourself look like a typical Dallas asshole.

Your assessment of Tyler is ignorant and really not even close to accurate. That's all I'm going to say. If you care to tell me more about the city I'm from I'm all ears.

As far as your comments about Tyler being a breeding ground for fraternity men.......it is exactly the kind of place that spits out guys that are capable of going anywhere and getting in very good houses, and it's done consistently. There isn't a city in Texas more Southern in all aspects of life. That should be plenty enough explanation.

macallan speaks alot of truth.

Be respectful. Depending on the part of Dallas, they're not always looked that well upon. Walk on eggshells throughout rush and pledgeships in terms of offending people. You can be a dick afterwards if you so choose.
