When I was in high school, I went to the Bronx High School of Science. Entrance was by competitive exam- you had to try to get in, and take their exam to attempt to get in. Most students blew the exam. (When I was in the 8th grade, I was in a Special Progress class, where most of the class took the exam. I was the only one that made it. The next year, encouraged someone made it, everyone took the exam. None of them made it.) Anyone who went there knew that the school would be unusually difficult. None of us went there if we "hated learning." Lots of us, including myself, belonged to clubs at the school. None of that computes, according to Bolshevik. In college, I was in a fraternity. It was (and still is) a SERVICE fraternity. It's not dedicated to parties and drinking, it's dedicated to public service and community service, and is mentioned on resumes because lots of people know it as a good training grounds for workers, for volunteers, etc. They also have leadership training programs. It's considered a sign of good citizenship in some circles, and Eagle Scouts are recommended to consider joining when they age out of the Scouts and go to college. So, why did I help set up my college's fraternity chapter in the first place? According to Bolshevik, it assisted in "the rise of the midwits." Of course, another possibility is that- since I have a genius IQ and studied Sociology and can offer alternate explanations, and Bol never studied Sociology- that Bolshevik is incorrect and other explanations cover it. At the moment, I'm not exactly eager to lay it all out AGAIN (we've been through this before) for someone who insults me so freely and thoughtlessly.
