disappointed
by: ...I was just looking at recent posts on this website and I noticed a trend that seems pretty messed up. Basically people act as if athletes are somehow different from everyone else at Yale, and that they're somehow less "cool." For example, the term "NARP" has been used lately (non-athletic regular people). Seriously? Athletes aren't "regular people?" Pi Phi, Zeta, DKE, ADPhi, and Sig Nu all draw heavily from sports teams during rush. That's what makes them the way they are, and honestly that's a really good thing because it means the people in it are already friends and have strong bonds. Why is that considered less cool than the "rich students" of Alpha Phi, Theta, Leo, and SigEp? It's honestly really elitist. At other schools athletes are lauded. I know this probably isn't the right place to have this discussion, someone should write a YDN op-ed about it in my opinion, but I just wanted to talk about it because it seems pretty mean.

This is so stupid. Atheltes are the most favored class of people at yale, by far, and they always play the victim card. Remember the 1 op ed attacking athletes? universally condemned, as it should have been. but there have been so many other YDN pieces attacking different segments of campus, and few people said a word.
Athletes live life on "god mode" at yale. they really do.

I don't agree with that at all, I think people just use the term to describe frats/sororitys with a big athlete presence. Like... many athletes are some of the richest and most popular people I know here, it's just that with a NARP-heavy Greek org you don't have that descriptor that you can use? Like you can't say Theta is athlete heavy because it's mainly just the squash team and a few others... but it doesn't mean that girls in Pi Phi aren't rich they just literally... are made up of more athletes and you just can't say that about Theta so people go to the next most """"""obvious""" ;""" term for describing the general group-- because that's all people do on this site, generalize super broadly.
