I’ve grown up in the US (wow i believe this is the first time I’ve disclosed my race on CC, kinda scary)

Why must I be taken in as a southerner? Why must I embrace southern traditions? Am I expected to do this? Fact is, I will seek to understand and explore and try to accept Southern traditions, but Vandy should not expect me to embrace it. I’m not coming to Vandy to be converted in this way into a southern man.
I want to be taken in as an individual. Instead of Vandy asking me to embrace southern qualities, will Vandy students attempt to embrace my qualities?
This is getting a little philosophical and maybe useless. But I’m just trying to gauge the mindset.
