Duke Status-Centric Culture

I agree with SBR and SenatorNoodles that it is very easy to ignore and you can still be social.
I was someone who let the scene get to me.
I felt ‘inferior’ to those who had been playing the ‘social climbing’ game much longer.
I think it can simply matter by where you live freshman year.
I lived with a lot of people who were very concerned with social status.
However, I found a way out my spring semester by meeting other people.
There is something that doesn’t feel right though, I still envy those in the top frats for what they have.
It’s the ‘grass is greener’ cliche. I wonder though if I would have had a better chance if I came from a wealthier family and picked up on this wonderful ‘social magic’ earlier in life.

Now, I’m not bashing Duke, but this is just what I’ve been hearing. From people like EAD lol.

Lol, EAD may not be the best person to get information about Duke from… haha!
