<p>Thank you, tunanfish! That’s Princeton for you, hehe.</p>
<p>And Byerly, I do not think Princeton is attempting to “marginalize” the eating clubs at all, as you say. In fact, in the letter the freshman class received recently concerning Greek life at Princeton, it contrasts the established history of the eating clubs with the rather tumultuous one of campus fraternities and sororities. It also notes the different opportunities offered through them, so I believe the Princeton administration recognizes the eating clubs as fine, established parts of university life (as they should). Like MightyChip said, while some may be detracted by the eating clubs, there are some who are attracted to the rich tradition and grandeur of the clubs. I’d say that’s pretty valid.</p>
