I have heard of this issue before, as written by Multitasker:

it’s a South thing, that’s why I am not in the South

I knew someone who considered living in Charleston. Everything was lovely: the weather, the architecture, the new job. But, the people were very clicky and my friend never felt accepted.

HorseDoc: did you ever consider other schools? I suspect this feeling “out of sorts” can happen whenever you’re a transfer, but maybe it was more pronounced in certain schools. I know Vanderbilt is really into sororities/frats. Were those determined in freshman year, so when you joined in as a sophomore, you were already “out”?
