southern-ness

Many guys in the top tier fraternities may be seen wearing on a daily basis: diamond earrings, basketball / football jerseys, Jordans, Timberland boots, baggy jeans

So it is about the fashion. That's a rather less manly reason than I was expecting. Also, black dudes dress like that, just saying.

I bet you're one of these northern sympathizers aren't you, Chad?

3 reasons why JMU doesn't live up to having Southern fraternities: Pike, KA, ATO

Now I'll give you 3 other reasons why kids shouldn't read TFM and change themselves to "become Southern": Fiji, Sigep, Deltasquid

The rest don't try nearly as hard, except Sig Nu.

To address "Truth": I suppose you could say that, and hey if you're into dressing like you're going to formal every day, by all mean have at it, Im more concerned that such a seemingly big issue is about something as dumb as fashion and not honorable, gentlemanly conduct.
As for the 3 good reasons, it sounds to me like there is no way for anyone to win. Unless i read that wrong, one is either too northern, or a try-hard (with SN being the only exeption apparently)

The fraternities that fall into a middle ground for how they dress are Pike, SX, PiKap, LXA, and KS. As for not trying to dress any sort of way with usually just sweat pants and white Tshirts: KA and ATO. As for looking like a lion ate a parrot and vomited on someone: DX, SN, Delta Sig, Sig Ep. Those are the only fraternities who are relevant anyways so who cares about any of the rest.

Go back to Uva, Chad

Chad sounds like a Theta Chi
