Still, I've never met an Ole Miss person who didn't take at least some pride in their "conservative" bent (i.e. we're frattier than thou).

There are plenty of us who don't think like that.

Everyone I hung out with while at OM would have been considered "liberal hippies" by the crowd you're referring to. And there were a lot of us.

The thing that pisses me off about these "stories" that keep popping up is that they truly are the actions of a minority group at OM. No, we're not all liberal hippies like the people I hung with, but most of the student body is pretty progressive. The public lives to see people fall more than they like to see someone succeed, so naturally our flaws get more attention than our efforts to move forward.
