Funny. The reality is the size of the TV markets, but hilarious.

BAT SHIT CRAZINESS aside, my experience has been that after a while it doesn't matter what GLO you were in, just that you were in one at all. There seems to be a certain bond of members of GLOs. It is that we know that we all have similar values and standards. And probably more importantly, ironically, is that we all know what we had to go through in our GLO's; meetings, community service, study hours, fun times, formals, and doing all the stuff that we weren't supposed to do but did anyway, etc.
Sure people may notice that you were part of a certain GLO but that was years ago with a certain reputation at THEIR school/region that may be different from your school/region. And, trust me, from my experience, I can say that I have changed so much. Sure, there are similarities between who I was then and who I am now. In all honesty, as much as I would like to think that had I rushed today on my campus, I would be in the same org as I am today, I really don't know. Not that I don't love my org, I am just older, wiser, more down to earth yet still pretentious while being cynical and less sober.
Just my 4 cents. I will hop off my soap box.

Oh, bless your heart. Where is it you're from? We'll start working on that BSC map for you. Wouldn't want you to wander into the wrong neck of the woods.
I think we're all interpreting this "sorority stronghold" thing a bit differently.
To me, the article was about the desirability of a single sorority in a single state. I thought the OP was posting about similar situations for other orgs in other areas. I think Chi Omega has a very unique situation in Arkansas. That being said, I would hazard a guess to say that pockets of this exist throughout the country in different segments of society.
