Commentary: Real diversity at Duke: Revisting greeks

(04/16/04 4:00am)

I have seen the "dark side," and now it's time to come home. Don't get me wrong, my semester "abroad" at Carolina has been a valuable experience, if only to compare--as a diligent observer--the hook-up cultures between these two prestigious oases of higher learning. There are the obvious comparisons--Carolina is more than twice as large, 80 percent of the students are from North Carolina, there are a lot more (Southern) blondes, etc. etc. Critics of Duke's generally wealthy, collar-popping stiletto heel-laden, and "pearl-wearing" student population will quickly point upwards toward that school on the Hill as though it were a sanctuary of ethnic and ideological diversity, free from the pretenses of a commercially-obsessed, success-driven society represented at Duke.

Membership in environmental organizations swelled, and the issue was put back on the political map.
