<p>My daughter was extremely social in high school, organizing stuff every weekend with a large group of friends. That continued in college at Swarthmore. For example, she organized a little impromptu party for a dozen friends and their parents the day before graduation.</p>
<p>She was not a drinker or doper in high school, so maybe that’s what dchow meant by “popular” students. I’m really not sure.</p>
<p>I don’t believe my daughter was unusual. She has very social friends and Swarthmore and the recent grad housemate now knows everyone in Washington, DC. The whole group of Swatties there is very social in terms of parties all over town.</p>
