In response to TheLine
Am I out of touch, or do you still have those silly Greek frats and sororities at Penn? I enjoyed my eating club (Elm) back in the day -- a place to eat, socialize, depressurize, shoot a few games of pool, -- and even study! The Bicker system was a little ridiculous, but no more so than what I understand is done by Fraternities. Plus we did NOT have any childish initiation practices like hazing (best left to military institutions). Clubs were an improvement to the dining halls of freshman and sophomore years in a town lacking the social institutions of a city. If we needed a city we could be in a real one by train to NYC in less than an hour.
