Last week on campus, I overheard two undergrads talking. Not about which classes to take or even which parties they were going to go to. About which corporate sponsorships to accept for their sorority and whether they were offered enough $ for one that would require 5 product posts on social media.

The ruling class has completely divorced itself from our reality.

On the one hand, I was impressed with their savvy (and their impeccable style). On the other hand, I worry that these sponsorships are allowing an already exclusive status culture to be monetized in ways that are likely to reinforce racial and socioeconomic inequalities both in college and beyond.

thats kind of the whole point, isn't it? When UT-Austin forced sororities to allow Black applicants, the head of the soroity council flipped out and said that was unacceptable. I cant remember what happened.

Good grief! That should be against the law or, at a minimum, university rules. Get corporate money out of schools!

They should sell naming rights: "Tri-Delts, brought to you by Delta Toilets." "Zeta Tau Alpha, sponsored by the Zeta Drug Cartel."
