Clubbing at College

Not the secret societies like Skull and Bones; the ones you or I could join.

Still the same mission, though!

"Join the club: Colleges see surge in new student groups; Members' motives draw some concerns" by Linda K. Wertheimer/Boston Globe October 27, 2007

CAMBRIDGE - Many students say the more clubs, the better, because joining gives them a chance to cultivate interests, beef up résumés, or connect socially to a smaller group on a large campus. But the surge concerns some college officials, who worry that many students start clubs so they can run a group rather than be a member of an existing group.

Judith Kidd, Harvard College's associate dean of student life:

"The high-achieving students come here and want to run something. What I try to tell students is: 'Most of you will not be Bill Gates. You need to learn how to work within an organization.'"

But, but, but I was told I could be anything in AmeriKa!

I had such dreams and hopes!

Now you are telling my little ambitious self to accept being a cog?

So scum shits like Bush can be selected and appointed by the Globalist masters to run the world?


Kidd and other college officials say they have seen too many splinter groups form, and too many new groups set up along racial and ethnic lines. Kidd said she is concerned about the influx of specific ethnic and racial groups.

What, is she some sort of racist?


Matt Basilico, 22, a senior and member of the older global health group, said he agreed with Kidd that some students form clubs to pad their résumés. But, he said, adults often join professional organizations for the same reason.

But those secret societies aren't for you, kiddo!

Vicky Wu, a 20-year-old junior: "We're at Harvard. It's full of ambitious people who want to be future leaders."

And Yale, as the case may be.

Yup, training the next wave of Globalist elites!
