[quote=Anonymous]I always found rowing, or, more specifically, the kids who participated in it, fascinating back in the day. At my public high school where football and basketball were king, the kids who rowed were generally known as chuds who weren't good at "real" sports and likely didn't make the team. But when I got to college -- not an Ivy, but a selective private -- the rowers were total Chads: tall, athletic, well-built, and moneyed. Most belonged to top-tier fraternities. I remember noticing this first semester and thinking, "Where did these rowers come from? Did they switch over from other sports? Surely they didn't row in high school. They seem much too cool for that." It wasn't until I pledged myself that I learned rowing is viewed much differently at elite privates and boarding schools than it was at my public school.[/quote]
