I recall a film called Animal House. It was about class and status in America. It was funny, no question, about that. But it was really about who had financial and, ultimately, political power, and who are the gatekeepers.

Rush a fraternity, if you are a male, and discover if you are an outsider. This is a hard lesson in life. There are those who are insiders, those who aren’t. If you are an outsider you will learn this lesson in college. College confirms class lines and status. Arguably that’s the whole point of college, to learn your place

You will not forget this lesson. It is that brutal.
