Yea I was kind of thinking the same thing. Maybe I just don't get it because I went to a public high school. (although in my hometown's area, my high school was a force to be reckoned with )

I think it's pretty safe for me to say that I would have to agree with IowaHawkeye. What happened in high school is over, and there isn't a really huge reason to be overly defensive about it. I can understand that AXJules still lives there.. has friends there, and wants to send her future kids to GBN, but at the same time I just don't see a need to be so upset about something that has already happened and no one can go back & change. Sometimes, things just happen, but I like to think everything has happened for a reason. Now that those girls were caught hopefully this terrible tradition won't go on anymore...

my thing is that we have a ton of kids that come to Purdue and try to go thru the engineering program up there from those affluent chicago suburb schools. a lot of those kids are also the ones who fail out of engineering and make up the almost 70% (don't quote me, that's something i heard during freshman year) that don't make out of the first year of classes. then you have me, who went to 2 high schools, the last of which was a vocational joint in which only about 30% (senior project) went to a 4 year college. oh yea, i also have a BSCE and MSCE from purdue and have a several job offers. not to be on my own nuts, but, people will never gave you a job for you being in NHS.
