Class Warfare

How frats and colleges exacerbate income inequality.  I don't know about other liberal arts colleges, but at Pomona College, my alma mater, 90% of students lived in dorms for four years and the center of social life on campus was on-campus.  This reduced any significant divide for income-stretched students.  Sure, they probably did not go out to dinner as often, nor partake in the fancier spring break options, but the beating heart of social and campus life was not restricted by having money.
