    Is this the type of shit they let you publish after you give SFPL a nice blow jibber?

    So you go to UK, write an article about going to school in the South, and then say Kentucky isn’t the South. Ok.

      I used to go to school in Mississippi. Now I go to UK. Kentucky is not the South. If you can get to Ohio in an hour, it’s not the South.

        Pretty sure the family jet can take me to Ohio from just about any southern state in less than a hour if we pay them enough…

        If you live in Tennessee you can get to Kentucky in an hour which “isn’t the south” therefore Tennessee isn’t the south, are you fucking dim?

        So apparently Virginia isn’t in the south either? Go play in traffic, kid.

  4. This was one of the worst descriptions of the south that I’ve ever seen. I am shocked that someone made a worse list than SFPL. Someone needs to get hazed.

    I stopped reading this article after saying that Kentucky isn’t part of the south.

    I’m glad I came to a Fraternity website to read a list not at all related to Greek life.
