But if you get an attitude.... so what?

Simple questions are often the most annoying ones.

I'm not saying I don't get an attitude, just that it's unnecessary. And too bad if my simple questions annoy you - there were a couple people kind enough to answer them anyway

Well good for you.

I am glad we have come to this understanding.

The Final Club by Geoffrey Wolff is another good book to read if you're interested in Princeton social history. (Despite the title, it's about Princeton, not Harvard.)

I know it's an "old" thread in terms of GC-time, but I went to a school with eating clubs-- the Princeton of the South--Davidson. The three eating houses served as "sororities" to the women who chose to participate. While I don't take offense to SthrnZeta's term "weird" personally, I do know of some members of the eating houses who would. I understand that what you don't know can be unfamiliar, but it doesn't make it "weird." As a student, I can tell you that it served the noble purpose of bringing women together for good times and good fellowship in what could be an extremely stressful atmosphere at times.

I just went and checked that out. Neat . Has there ever been any movement on campus toward wanting to have NPC sororities?

Not to my knowledge. Fraternities have had a shaded past on Davidson's campus. When my dad went there (he was initiated in Sigma Phi Epsilon), I know that there was a movement from the administration to move to a more inclusive policy for the fraternities (at that point in time, Davidson was all-male). As a result, I know that some of the fraternities moved off campus. When dad was a senior, women started being admitted as regular, full-time students. I think the eating houses were started because women wanted a "sorority" experience, but knew the fight for an NPC would be an uphill battle. You can read this to see the current sentiment (well, the letter was published during my sophomore year).

Davidson now has a chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha. I met some of those guys at convention and they are soooooo awesome! Very diverse, too.
