I don’t know. My daughter had a subscription to Vogue for four years at Swarthmore. The rubgy team runs naked through the administration building for cash - on Parents Weekend. They chase each other around with foam Pteroactyl swords. They build boats for the annual regatta in the Crum Creek. This image of Swarthmore as a serious campus culture isn’t really true. Are the academics rigorous? Yes. But, from what I’ve seen, humor is probably just as strong a defining characteristic.
