Princeton to ban freshman affiliation with fraternities, sororities as of fall 2012

[Low C Sharp]

I actually think that's not nuts. It's one thing to feel exclusive and privileged vis-a-vis the rest of the world. It's a different thing to feel that way within a university community, especially freshman year. They're trying to minimize stratification WITHIN Princeton early on. I see that as consistent with embracing the stratification of a larger society as reflected in Princeton's role compared to Rutgers or Montclair State. It's similar to a Greek chapter that is proud of its status/exclusivity compared to the rest of campus, but tries to eliminate cliques among the membership.
