Like I said, it may exist by exception. I've only had one chance to see a Citadel-Citadel connection (BN XO and a staff CPT who was my buddy), and I didn't see any favoritism there. I've never seen any USMA-USMA favoritism, and I know that of my LTs as a commander, it was my ROTC guys that performed the best (and the worst, with some of these having been prior service). However, I did have a BN CDR (ROTC) who when he'd get drunk at battalion functions would make excessive comments about West Pointers to the point where it was beyond good natured joking and more like a subconscious complex surfacing
I always found it interesting how some folks concentrated too much on where you came from and not where you were.
