[quote=Anonymous][quote]I felt no more at home at Cottage and Ivy than you did. I just didn't let their presence on campus detract from my enjoyment of (a) my eating club and (b) the university altogether.

You are obviously entitled to your opinion. But, it is very much a minority opinion. [b]The alumni -- which include recent alumni -- overwhelming view the eating clubs as a positive aspect of campus life.[/b] Those that don't want to join one of the selective eating clubs simply join one of the many others that have the same beautiful building, the same (and often better) food, and the same parties and other social events.[/quote]

This is an enormous self-selection bias in that it includes only those who decided to attend, didn't transfer out, and are engaged enough in Princeton life to be involved in alumni activities.

I'll guarantee that Princeton loses out on a HUGE number of queer or working class or minority or public school (or some combination thereof) kids simply because of the eating clubs and the reputation that goes along with them. Think of the talent that Princeton loses because they turn off some of the best and brightest with their antiquated country club nonsense.
