southern?

by:    

After recently being accepted, I am happy to say that I will be a freshman at Texas A&M University next fall! I have been thinking about going through sorority recruitment but I'm a little worried because I'm from the North. I've heard that Texas a&m is a pretty traditionally southern and conservative school (especially the greek students) but I don't know that if that is accurate. I'm just worried about being accepted. Are there many people from the north in greek life? This is not so much a greek question but you always hear about Texas being known for "southern hospitality" and "southern gentlemen", what exactly do these mean and are these common at Texas a&m? I know it may seem like a dumb question but being from the north I'm not familiar with these things and am curious to know before I get there. Thanks you guys!

I've never been on this website before but felt the need to reply. I was raised my entire life in the state of New York and went through the same worry when I was rushing fraternities and I was just honest with people and found the right chapter for me in Phi Delt. A&M is one of the most conservative schools in the nation but heading into sorority life you don't need to worry. The sororities here are awesome and being a yankee won't be the thing to inhibit your acceptance.

Best of luck!

There are plenty of people here from the north, you'll be fine. As for southern gentlemen, you'll find very few here at Texas A&M. Most just care about getting drunk and hooking up, not too gentleman like if you ask me.

There is a difference between "Southern gentlemen" and "country redneck boys". A&M has a lot of the latter.

What exactly are "country redneck boys?" How are the two different?

Southern gentlemen don't have to be country. Southern gentlemen dress more preppy, are more "old south", live a more polished lifestyle.

Country/redneck guys wear those dark jeans which have those edgy designs, they wear plaid shirts a lot, drive trucks, love camo and oakleys and the brand Realtree.

Oakleys are about the geediest sunglasses imaginable and I'm kind of doubting any country boy would be caught dead wearing jeans with "edgy patterns". That was a terrible description.

Are you an idiot? Country redneck kids are majorly GDIs.

Be careful what you believe on this site, many on here just enjoy stirring up trouble & bashing Texas A&M. This is not a site for real information for the most part, no ownership of comments= not necessarily true, students here nor even greek. There are rivalries within TX guessing #4 is a Tsip (goes to University of Texas).
