<p>The South is not the preppiest region…I’ve lived in both the Northeast and the South for ten years each and the Northeast is way preppier than the South. North Carolina and a lot of other southeastern states are laid-back, warm-and-fuzzy, Southern hospitality sorts of places. Duke is something of an anomaly, but that’s because the majority of Duke’s students come from out-of-state and are not North Carolinians.</p>
<p>The only thing preppy I can think about in the south are the Greek systems at some of our large flagship publics and privates (UGA, LSU, Vanderbilt, Duke also I suppose).</p>
