- Columbia: I wanted to make fun of this article, but I was won over while reading it.
- Cornell: The debased Marxism of the Ivy League.
- Dartmouth: "Hey, I'm not interested in you in a romantic way, but I also don't want to treat you purely as a sexual object at my beck and call."
- Princeton: Great letter, LBJ, but why are you still reading the Prince?
- Yale: Snowstikas!

so, dartmouth folks, what is a “blitz”?
February 26th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
See Feb.6’s post.

Ha, ‘blitz’ is our word for email. I believe ivygate wrote a column about the origin of the word…. Also, funny how this was an issue when I was in school. I miss frat life at Dartmouth. In the real world, people are not as impressed with a good quick six as you’d think.

“In the real world, people are not as impressed with a good quick six as you’d think.”
Thank God. Although, it is sad to see current students who come up every weekend during their off terms because they clearly can’t make it out there (as in, out of their basement). There’s life beyond pong and your frat… I wonder when that will sink in. I applaud Lydia for writing what we all know to be true. Yes, shame on the boys, but shame on us too.

There is a reason that Dartmouth is uniquely respected in the real world, as far as hiring goes. We party hard and work hard. This is the definition of the corporate world. Sorry, obvious girl. Wah Hoo Wah.

The ideal Dartmouth man is one who would e-mail (not call) the next day? Wow, your standards are fucked.

Morning-after-blitzes are so validating! They really make me feel respected by the guys that I randomly hook up with after five mixed drinks and three games of pong!
Seriously? Don’t you think that we could be fighting for a little bit more than that? Or do none of you have any self-respect?

D 04: Thankfully, not all Dartmouth students aspire to be part of that corporate world– some of us actually want to make a difference in the world and be real people. And judging by your concluding war-call, I see you’ve settled into your nice, comfy corporate chair. Has it been hard interacting with women since you left Dartmouth? I mean, an ivy league degree and a nice corporate job can only go so far in getting you ass…. I’m sure normal women out there look for things we take for granted here, like personality for example.

if you’re gonna be working at a non profit, be prepared to fellate many donors just like D’04. those of us who intend to have real futures are going to be the ones financing your self-righteous campaign to save the world.
wah-hoo-wah

What are all the editors of IvyGate who already graduated still doing reading the Prince?
February 27th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Come on, P11. We know you can do this.
Let’s think for a second.
Could it possibly be that, perhaps, someone whose job it is to provide news about the ivy league would benefit from reading the publications of institutions that are a part of said league?

Real is relative. There are futures beyond corporate jobs and nonprofits. The only thing that is self-righteous in this discussion is the belief that business-oriented people are the only ones with real jobs and that everyone else will have to fellate them to get by or have some sort of worthy existence. People who hold this view need to get over themselves.
