So, what's so "firestormy" about what Taualumna posted?
[QUOTE=Taualumna]
That's why so many parents want their kids in the Ivies or other well-known schools. I'm sure that being in a historically Asian fraternity, you would know this.

To me that statement came off wrong (my interpretation). Why is taualumna so "sure" that L.O.C.K. should "know this" coming from a historically Asian fraternity? In general in her last two statements, imo she seems to be painting Asian/Asian American parents and families as solely interested in status.

In general she still seems to be taking the stance that NPC/IFC/D9 have a monopoly on pride because they are older. And chances are that the "immigrant" family isn't at all aware of any type of GLO, especially not by name, to glean any sort of "pride" from the organization that their child is seeking to join.
