I didn't check this thread for a couple of days, only to return this afternoon to catch up. Congrats to everyone who turned it into another "hurr durr, Southerners are so stupid, but they sure are nice" threads. There's something very amusing (in a facepalm sort of way) about a bunch of smug regionalists using stereotypes to attack the ignorance they perceive in the South while simultaneously extolling the virtues of the open mindedness they developed in their home region.

And people wonder why Southerners tend to distrust outsiders and lock themselves into regionalism.

I applaud this post.

That was pretty articulate for a cousin-porking rube.

To be fair, smug regionalism is alive and well in every region. Everyone hates everyone else, and, frankly, they usually have good reason. Almost everybody almost everywhere kinda sucks in their own special and unique (i.e. regional) way. This thread just happened to be about the south.

And it can be broken down further than by region ... right down to neighborhoods ... and even next-door-neighbors.

In the military and some criminal groups, people have to "make their bones", in one way or another. This makes a certain amount of sense, as in a violent situation, you'd want to be sure the person next to you to be dependable.
I don't see the need of this in an academic situation.

BTW my roots are in the in the South.

A shared unique experience strengthens team cohesian. I see no problem with non-lethal methods to cultivate that espirit de corps. When I was 18 I spent 24 hours wired into a terminal coding non-stop, powered by coffee and energy drinks along with the other guys in the project as a challenge. I also rolled down a hill in a plastic bin with the other new recruits in the ADF. Your choice, your decision. Be aware that if you refuse to partake the group shall exclude you in spirit.
