My nephew was in the business school.
The southern frats and southern kids are the ones allowed to make important connections in their business school per what my nephew has said.
They take a ton of northerners now as they try to improve their academic milestones on admittance, but they essentially isolate them from what is important about going to college.
I do not know about non business school practices, but I personally would expect the same.
They seem to be using the northerners.
