I grew up in NOVA, with parents who were from Southern Virginia and Tennessee. I was surprised to discover that further south, they don't consider people from Virginia to be southerners at all, even though I was born and raised 90 miles from the Capitol of the South (Richmond), when that was a thing. However, go anywhere North or West, and you will be considered just as southern as anyone from Alabama. They will also stat talking about your adorable accent, which I don't have at all. I might say a few southern words and phrases, because my entire family are from the south, but no accent. As far as Rush goes, you probably won't be considered southern, but you are considered more southern than the rest of the country, if that makes sense. I had a great rush and got into a great sorority. Girls were full of questions during Recruitment about being raised near DC. If you're from Norfolk, Tidewater, Hampton, or Richmond (which also cracks me up), you'll likely be in the same boat as me. Good luck!
