[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never tell this to others but one of the reasons we send DC to an elite private school is b/c we want him to get into the most elite frat, eating club, secret society, etc at an Ivy.

Some of us care about stuff like that.[/quote]

And why effin not? Why's it SO horrif if DC does this? Good for you![/quote]

It's notnhorrible if they do it, but i don't understand why anyone would care.  DH and I were both ivy (covered 3 ivys between us with grad school), and it never seemed to us that the "elite" frat or secret society (not very secret) made any difference in success or opportunities.  It can be fun though, i'm sure.  Is that the reason you want it?  We didn't go to princeton, and i suspect the eating clubs are important.  Personally, that always seemed awful to me, though.[/quote]

We want it b/c it's family tradition (not politically correct at all on DCUM) and we really care about that stuff which is kind of embarrassing to admit.  It's made a lot of difference in the opportunities DC will have:  I knew where he'll intern in high school and college before he was born.  It's also a lot of fun too...[/quote]
