[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t get into HYPSH but want the connections?  Join a traditionally Ivy League frat like Alpha Delta Phi or St. Anthony’s Hall. Get a masters at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. With a Fletcher degree you can join the Harvard Club.

OOPS. I meant HYPSM. [/quote]

I went to Harvard and have never heard of these frats. There's minimal Greek life at Harvard...[/quote]

St. Anthony's used to be the fraternity equivalent at Columbia of a finals club at Harvard or Yale, or Ivy Club at Princeton.  Not sure if it's still a big thing there.  It had chapters at some other schools, but again don't know if they are active or carry any particular social weight. [/quote]

Yes, they still carry social weight. Fly certainly carries social weight at Harvard (A.D. not so much). St. Anthony’s is a senior society at Yale so you can’t become a member of Skull & Bones if you join St. A’s but Skull & Bones, which still carries social weight (though less since it went coed) still recruits from Alpha Delta Phi. St. A’s is Princeton’s best eating club because it’s the only one that has chapters at other schools and thus provides more contacts. At schools with Alpha Delta Phi but no St. A’s, like Cornell, Alpha Delta Phi is then most elite frat. [/quote]

St. A's is an under-the-radar fraternity at Princeton, not an eating club.

I wouldn't say the various Ivy League secret societies, eating clubs and fraternities are irrelevant to a student's future professional opportunities, but neither do they have the importance they once did.  [/quote]
