Once you live in East Campus for a while, you start to get an air to certain dorms, but they're usually really minor feelings (anyone care to object?).
BellTower gets a lot of smack, cus its the newest and obviously the nicest dorm. Along with Randolph and Blackwell, there doesn't seem to be interdorm mingling because people don't hang out in the common room that much (because they have more than one common room and they have air conditioning), but the main quad dorm seems to have more inter-mingling. I have yet to meet anyone that hangs out exclusively with their own dorm. It really depends on you. I have a good number of friends in my dorm, but I usually hang out with others.
I don't feel there's competition amongst the dorms. I mean, once in a while a couple of people from each dorm will participate in competitions, but after that is over, everything reverts to normal. Even Wilson's constructed rivalry against their across-the-main-quad dorm Giles doesn't seem like anything.
