[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do many colleges have societies for the pedigreed kids or is it an ivy league phenonem?[/quote]

That’s a complicated question. How do you define “many”?  It tends to be an Ivy (and Little Three) thing. Here’s the deal:  When most colleges close a frat that’s the end of the frat at that college. Elite frats at the Ivies are immortal. If the college closes it, it remains as an elite social club. [b]When Harvard closed Alpha Delta Phi, it remained as two social clubs, Fly and A.D. [/b]When Williams closed its frats, St. A’s remained under the radar. At most colleges, a frat is a frat is a frat. Different at the Ivies. For example, at Yale, Alpha Delta Phi has traditionally been a feeder for Skull & Bones. [/quote]

lol. The now-shuttered AD and Fly has NOTHING to do with the frats.

Are you the same poster who keeps claiming that Columbia is one of the “4 horsemen?”[/quote]

Harvard closed its frats after the Civil War. A.D. and Fly were founded by members of the Harvard chapter of Alpha Delta Phi. The only four horsemen I know of are in Revelations.
