[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke grads tend to be very annoying. Chip on their shoulder about Duke not being an ivy. They love to trash talk Cornell, UPenn and Brown.[/quote]

Those schools are lower ivies. Nobody has a chip on their shoulder about them.[/quote]

Oh please, like Duke has no chip about Penn or Columbia?! They are schools with much better departments overall, bigger names, an ivy league brand, higher endowment and higher desirability (as shown through RD yield). Get real. Maybe they are less insecure towards Brown, Dartmouth and Cornell though. But still these are ivies and Duke is not an ivy.

I know for a fact that Dukies love to trash talk Penn and Columbia. Cant imagine it is that much different for the other non-HYP ivies. [/quote]

Meh. It’s more like Penn students have a perpetual chip on their shoulder - whether it comes to HYPS or to the schools (like Duke) that Penn students wished in vain looked up to them.  Duke may invite ridicule based on the behavior of some of its students at basketball games, but it’s hard to think of any school that screams “bitter try-hards” more than Penn.
