A former intern with Deep South, Amanda Hoefer is a student at Clemson University. South Carolina born and bred, Southern culture isn't just a fad to Amanda. It's the deep-seated interest in our history, the inability to answer a question without a "ma'am" or "sir" attached, the immortal battle over Duke's and Hellman's, the importance of family. She is currently pursuing a degree in English and a proud member of Kappa Delta sorority.
