I can assure you it still exists.

Well, yeah, that's a given. If you're serving on a board that's Greek heavy in Small City, AL, then sure, I'd think that GLO affiliation would give you some pull. Some of the comments in this thread make it seem as if the mere fact that you are XYZ in STATE puts you above the rest. I have yet to see that.

I would say it's more a city thing than a state thing in most of the south. Most of the women that I grew up with went either Chi O or Tri Delta. Those were the groups that were the big ones for my town. In other parts of my state, other groups are the big ones.

Is this a small town?

I ask because I live in Dallas and there are SEVERAL Greeks in my workplace (from all over). Many of them are from the "Greek grooming" cities, but at the end of the day, they talk more about their universities than their affiliations.

ETA: Lol @ your quadruple posting. I was trying to figure out what was going on.

The town I grew up in is small, yes. I'm with you on the large city thing. That small town stuff didn't fly in Atlanta. It was more about what school. I never would have mentioned my sorority affiliation in a job interview type situation when I was there (unless I knew the person interviewing me was definitely a Kappa).

SMH at the quadruple posting. Good lord. Can mod clean that mess up for me, please? That's just embarrassing.
