Just read up on eating clubs - that sounds like so much fun. I see how its existence cuts into greek life - bicker clubs seem to bring money into the university and the social aspect seems to be much like what greek life offers.
But I can also see how bicker clubs can be economically/racially divisive, since it costs more than a meal plan, and may resemble an old-boy's-type network (ie "my mom/dad/sister/cousin was part of XYZ Club and so will I) that racial/economic minorities may not have access to.
Then again I know nothing about Princeton. Is there a "stereotypical" type of person who joins an eating club? It seems like its integral to campus culture and administration doesn't want that to fade/become less favorable.
