Hey! I'm a second-year student probably doing a MM IBD internship in a major southeastern city. I may be able to get a full-time offer at this firm if they like me. However, I'm wondering if getting into private equity is very doable coming from MM IBD. Would I need to get an MBA?

SunTrust Robinson Humphrey?
*FunTrust.
It is, although it would probably be best to get to a bank that is known for having great placement. SRH has good placement for it's top analysts, ie top 10%, but beyond that, there are many that go into Corp. Dev.
Always a chance you can turn that internship and offer into an offer at a bank with better placement history.
For anywhere that's not HBS, Wharton, Stanford, Chicago Booth, Columbia, Northwestern Kellogg, etc., is it worth paying for the MBA if the company isn't giving me a scholarship or even full-ride?
no - you do not need an MBA

Look into Roark Capital for PE
If you want to stay in the Southeast, look at New Capital Partners. Smaller PE fund with a focus on Southeast and Texas. Most of their post-MBAs have solid banking experience and went to a top 10 MBA program.
Look at the Sun Capital bios and then ask yourself if you really need an MBA.
Atlanta: Arcapita, Roark, HIG (based in Miami though), Noble Invesment Group Charlotte: Ridgemont, Pamlico, Carousel, a few others I am not as familiar with Birmingham: New Capital Partners, Harbert Capital Management
I'm sure there are others, particularly in Richmond and across Florida that I do not know off of the top of my head but point being there are plenty of smaller places in the area
