"Three juniors leave eating clubs for independent option"
as 'see any patterns?' mentioned, it's funny how none of these kids are white
This one of those articles that the Prince feels compelled to write each semester. (i.e. article about how Woody Woo shouldn't be application based, exclusivity of eating club culture, downsides of grade deflation, and so on and so forth)
on the other hand, there are tons of Asians in Tower and say Charter, so it's safer to say that for Asians the eating club seems to cluster on opposite extremes of the spectrum; a group seem to really enjoy it, and another group to experience a distinctive disillusionment with it.
Maybe Princeton needs even more diversity. How about active recruitment in Greenwich, Lake Forest, Palm Beach, Beverly Hills,etc. Would benefit the financial condition of the school, would strengthen the clubs because we would have students who understand the value of socializing and parties, and could possibly result in Rapelye's resignation. All pluses.
This article isn't news. At all. Also, way to pick really bad people to interview.
