my buddy and his wife came over to watch the game yesterday. She's an A&M grad and cringed at the crowd shots and asked why they always showed the corp with their dates and not the Greeks. That probably doesn't help with perception.

We say that constantly, Latarian. They sit in Corps bloc on the first deck, so the cameras are always right there. Plus, for whatever reason, the media/cameras (particularly national) love to fixate on the Corps. I think it's b/c it's such a novelty for em. Don't get me wrong--the Corps are "The Keepers of The Spirit" at A&M, and I hope they only continue to thrive. But they're a very small percentage of our university, though you'd never know it, based on TV coverage.

I read about 5 posts on the first page of this thread but wanted to add something.

The arguement about how hot the girls are at a certain school is the dumbest fricking thing in the world. I can only imagine that people who even mention stuff like this are old men/ugly dudes/self-conscious pussies. Every single one of these schools that people visit have literally THOUSANDS of attractive women everywhere. frick you if you're so much of pussy that you can't talk to any of them like the 2 or 3 girls in your circle of friends back home. End of rant. Don't be a bitch.
