<p>Just a side note on evil<em>asian</em>dictator’s post.</p>
<p>“HARVARD=cutthroat students, hard academics and elitist(Final Clubs)
YALE=laid-back student body, vibrant social life and somewhat elitist(Secret Societies)
PRINCETON=hard academics(grade deflation), preppy students and very elitist(Eating Clubs)”</p>
<p>I tend to see this alot but the students at Harvard, Yale and Princeton aren’t that different at all. I’ll agree that Harvard and Princeton are harder than Yale but with regards to elitist, I don’t see how the Eating Clubs make Princeton the most elitist when the vast majority of upperclassmen join an Eating Club. Secret Societies and Finals Clubs are far more selective, far more restrictive and therefore, more elitist (at least in the sense that I view the word elitist). Most anyone can still attend the vast majority of parties at the “bicker” clubs but non-members aren’t even privy to the events that Keys or Porcellian would have…</p>
<p>From Wiki: “Porcellian, for example, never allows non-members past “the bicycle room” in the building’s foyer, while the Delphic generously permits its guests access only to its basement by a separate entrance.” Now that sounds a heck of a lot more elitist and exclusive than anything at Princeton.</p>
