<p>I’m not sure if this is a certain common anti-Southern bias or not, but Northern LAC’s (Midd, Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, etc) are almost always higher rated and more well known than their Southern counterparts (Davidson, W&L, Rhodes, Sewanee, etc). They’re probably a little better, academically. The Southern ones are definitely frattier in general, and more conservative politically.</p>
