I used to work at a summer camp whose counselors were predominantly frat guys from SEC schools.

The most represented was Georgia, most guys were pretty cool (and the off weekends in Athens were awesome) but one group always smoked weed and sucked at their jobs.

Alabama was a mixed bag, but I hung out with them a lot. They liked their cocaine and driving drunk though.

Vandy guys were a pretty respectable bunch.

One Ole Miss guy. He was cool with everyone and liked to talk football even though this was when Ole Miss sucked.

The Tennessee grad was a bit of an odd ball, but I ended up working with him a good bit.

The Auburn guys were all non-frat including me, but usually hung out with the UGA and Bama guys oddly enough.

Every Bama and UGA grad I've met have been cool as hell. Complete opposite of what you see on here.

UT grads are all cool.

Ole Miss grads I know are all frickups, but fun to party with.

MSU and Arky grads are what you'd expect...fat, but laid back.

UF grad is a nice guy...very career oriented.

USC chick is now a housewife, but smoking.

LSU grad is my dad.

I doubt that your world includes very many graduates of any universities.

What do you mean by "met," anyway? Since I've been to games involving all but one member of the current SEC, I suppose I've technically "met" ones from all of those schools. But if "meeting" requires more depth and conversation than one typically engages in at/after a football game, I have to say that I've yet to (knowingly) meet grads of:

South Carolina
Missouri

That's it. I even have exes from four different SEC schools, not including Vandy.

Met and know personally/professionally:
LSU- tons. Well, I'm one, and both my brothers; so we know a lot.
A&M- a few. Quiet sorts, you'd never know where they went.
Auburn- one. Nice girl; I forget the actual circumstances, but she had dated an Auburn football player who had passed away (thinking he died late 90's or early 2000's). She did good repping of the school and conference back when LSU beat Oklahoma in 2003 (we had a party in NOLA). Took the ribbing well, cheered the Tigers against the Sooners like a pro.
Alabama- at least one. The one I know wears her Bama gear daily in BR, but then she did that in 2006 too, so I can't find fault.
Kentucky- One. My cousin went there.
Vandy- one, my neighbor's kid went and got a masters in QBA. Remained a Tiger fan, but couldn't turn the education down
Ole Miss- a few, all former football players. They all seem to be hustlers, trying to do fly-by-night lawyer gigs or starting questionable businesses.
Florida- one, a very hot young lady who got her law degree and learned that the DA's office doesn't make you rich.
Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina- 1-2 from each that I know; all were met at the NOLA Jazzfest (really, an after-party crawfish boil). The boil is an annual event, and so we all meet up in NOLA every year, for the past decade-plus. Not too sure of their personal lives (or careers, even), but they can sure afford to come party with us every year.
Miss St- can't think of any
Mizzou- none yet
Arky- none

Nope, but I did see Ozark reps every once and a while on campus. I reckon they farm out to SEC schools for counselors.

Alabama - Tons. I graduated from there and most of my family members and many friends graduated from there.

Arkansas - My aunt who grew up in Mobile graduated from Arky. One of my uncles (not married to said aunt) has a really good friend that he has a lake house with. His wife and kids and the Arky grads wife and kids spend time at their lake house often.

Auburn - Tons. Most of my closest friends graduated from there as well as many from my high school. As nutty and cultish as they are collectively as a group and as paranoid as they are about Alabama, Auburn grads are cool and great people individually.

Florida - None that I can think of right off.

Georgia - Childhood friend of mine moved to Georgia in the 6th grade. Three of his best high school friends from there went to UGA and I got to be decent friends with 2 of them. Good guys. Once hooked up with a girl they knew from their high school class who ended up being a sorostitute at UGA.

Kentucky - Knew some cute girls from Lexington at Alabama, but only know one UK grad. A friend of my brother who is married to my sister in law's best friend and sorority sister from Alabama. Good guy.

LSU - I don't really know any right off hand but my brother knows many graduates through his job in the New Orleans area.

Ole Miss - Have known a few. All really cool.

MSU - Same as Ole Miss. In fact, haven't known a State or Ole Miss grad that I didn't like.

Missouri - None.

South Carolina - Don't really know any grads.

Tennessee - Know a couple of grads. They are kinda meh (the ones I know)

Texas A&M - Don't personally know any grads.

Vandy - Know 3 grads really well. My really cute sex co-worker is a Vandy grad with a law degree from Alabama. One of my good childhood friends is a Vandy grad with an MBA from Virginia. He is a big life long Bama fan who still goes to Bama games though. The third is the older brother of another close childhood friend of mine.

Auburn, Kentucky, both Mississippi schools because those illiterates can't read the road signs to figure out how to get out of their own state, and Vanderbilt.

I have met one from every single school. I'd never really thought about it.

I cover the whole southeast for work, so I've met dozens of grads from every school.

Mizzou is the one I've met the least, but still know of at least 8, heck even that is probably over 12. Really can't relate to this thread but I can tell you that SEC grads are everywhere.

Mizzou- the only SEC school that I've never known somebody that even went there for any amount of time.

South Carolina I'm not sure about. I know a girl that went there, but lost track of her and don't know of she graduated

Arkansas - I do know 1 graduate, but I thought it was worth noting that the only 2 people I know that went to school there played football.

Met at least one from all as far as I'm aware. Every school has some great people. Going to UGA games all over the place has helped in my experience with this, and having friends from high school who graduated from each current SEC school other than maybe Kentucky and Florida helps as well.
