Princeton Freshmen Girls Dub Themselves “The Tribe,” People Act Like They’re Actually Surprised

tigerPeople who think the surreal but entertaining high school drama of bad teen movies end after “Pomp and Circumstance” stops playing obviously haven’t been to Princeton. An anonymous source recently called out a group of freshman girls who have been referring to themselves as “The Tribe” around campus. Perhaps trying to fight the widespread notion that Princeton girls are the fugliest in comparison with the sexier Ivies by proclaiming themselves as the hottest girls at Princeton, Regina George and company appear to be taking full advantage of rush week and using their marketing prowess to gain entry into one of the exclusive sororities on campus (cross your fingers for Kappa!). Apparently, the girls not only seek exclusivity in social organizations, but also in choice of sexual partners, according to the source, who claims:

They have decided that they are so hot that they will only hook up with legacies and athletes.

Feign surprise at Princeton exclusivity after the jump.

The tipster goes on to say:

When the girls go to tailgates, the chieftess wears white and all of the other girls wear black Princeton t-shirts.

Another incident of stereotypical Princeton self-selection? Shocking. All the fuss seems unjustified; it hasn’t been that long since Princeton’s website advertised themselves as the easiest Ivy to get into, just as long as you can graduate. Neither do they appear to be one of those misinformed elitist Tiger Tools who march around insisting on how interesting they are, nor do they use Hitler scare tactics and refer to themselves as monarchist royalty. If anything, Princeton should appreciate the fact that this gaggle of social climbing Pocahontases is sending desperately needed, legitimate publicity its way.

Mean Girls, and a New Jersey horde at that, really shouldn’t rile up anyone. We just hope one of them starts weather forecasting with her boobs soon.

    This is sad this blog, shows how immature princeton students are…and curious, keep it in your pants…maybe the upperclassmen can try to get girls their own age rather than make fun of freshman girls who have nothing to do with them…completely unneeded commentary and I just wasted my life writing in this bog, maybe you all should think about how pathetic this blog is, go study or something

    I came here to bitch about how IvyGate is sucking for ignoring the news at other schools, but I guess I can’t blame them for stalling, what with the record number of comments on this rather tabloidesque story…

    I graduated this year, and thank God. I won’t comment on any of these girls (hell I don’t even know most of them), but this whole thread–this whole shit pile you see above my comment–is why so many of us anonymous, non-glamorous (often Asian) kids kept to ourselves. That, and our lack of social skills. But seriously, I can’t tell you how happy I was that I naturally tend to keep to myself. As much as people talk about it being good to “stand out” at Princeton, it’s pretty awesome to be forgettable too.
