The perfect analogy for the East coast, more specifically, the DC Metro area (courtesy of MF). I never did like frats. Still don't.

Given the Greek mentality of many of our alums, people would go to an even that required waiting an hour for tickets or seats if they could send a pledge (called staffers in the real world!) to block off a row of seats for them. I'm not sure if that's Kosher in polite society.
