Rush at Mississippi State

[magichat]

Believe it or not, at my fraternity's convention, I actually met a bunch of decent kids from Ms. State. I am from a northeastern chapter and they were very cool and somewhat curious as to how things went up north.

Well you have to be cordial at national gatherings.

by the way nate, i downloaded that Better than Ezra song.. I had never heard it before...pretty good stuff. I like the fact that he goes "Sarah was a Kappa from Tulane"... I think that's pretty southern...to say she's a "XYZ" from a certain college instead of saying what major or anything else about her.

Kevin Griffin has written a few Southern songs -- Southern Girl, A Southern Thing, and King Of New Orleans -- He has been through a lot too, and really writes his songs based off his experiences --pledging a fraternity, his friend committing suicide and just the way he grew up.

Oh, absolutely. They were more then cordial though, we went out with them one night and got absolutely belligerant, very cool down to earth guys. Then again we were very different then other northern chapters represented that week. We spent our whole trip with the southern guys because some of the northern chapters were a straight up embarassment, with one or two exceptions.

It's how I feel when I go to the nationals gatherings.

The SEC schools are usually the only ones worthwhile to hang out with though there are always exceptions.
