Princeton Eating Clubs Article

<p>Although I do understand how I wasn't clear. Midterms are frying my brain.</p>

<p>question, what exactly is a bicker club? i havnt heard of that one...=0</p>

<p>Yea Cottage's list is really exasperating. They were on pass even as recently as the beginning of the 07-08 school year. </p>

<p>Interestingly enough, I was reading a Prince article from 2002 that basically said Tower wasn't usually on pass back then. I guess that's why Tiger Magazine likes to rip on Tower by saying things like, "Baffling door practice of asking for a pass," as well as, "for some inexplicable reason they've been going on pass."</p>

<p>@misstee: A bicker club is a club that is selective about admission. Over the course of three days during your sophomore spring, you go there and "do things" with the members that you don't already know. The "things" vary from club to club. Like at Ivy it's just 10 one-on-one interviews, at TI it's wild/weird fratty stuff (like spitting crickets for distance). At Tower, Cottage, and Cap & Gown, bicker is a mix of less formal interviews (more of these at Tower), and little games (more of these at Cottage and Cap) depending on the tastes of the members. Then the members have meetings where they discuss bickerees (prospective members) and vote on whether or not to offer them a spot in the club.</p>
