<p>um yeah… Princeton and Yale both went coed in 1969.</p>

<p>“Your great grandma went to Princeton”</p>

<p>“Your great grandpa’s second wife (your step grandmother) went to Yale”</p>

<p>also, isn’t step grandmother = step-grandma?</p>

<p>Okay, I’m a parent so I shouldn’t be here making references to Napoleon Dynamite, but I couldn’t resist: Your mom goes to college.</p>

<p>What the heck is the point of this thread? Did somebody tell you that that was the case in their family? Because they’re lying.</p>

<p>I did it solely for the purpose of my boredom.</p>

<p>One of my roommates’ family went to HYP dating back to the early 1700’s. Unbroken line. He was a waste of space and would have flunked out if not for the caring, personal intervention of our college’s dean. He would have been better off not going to college at all. </p>

<p>The persistent appeal of “old” money and “old” connections fascinates me. Many people want to value - and be valued - based on something over which they have no control, as though having a Dupont ancestor makes you intrinsically better. The key word is “intrinsically” because the urge seems to be that this kind of value blesses you at a deeper level than your own accomplishments, as though this means “better” is built into your DNA. Which is total tripe belief.</p>

<p>Would the great-grandma really have divorced one Harvard man for another? I guess your Mom made up for it later. Live and learn :)</p>
