Batya Ungar-Sargon joins Jillian to break down what Trump's really doing—and it's not just trolling the left. From declaring war on Ivy League gatekeepers to taking on the Supreme Court over illegal immigration, his latest moves are a full-scale assault on the ruling class. Batya unpacks how this isn't about left vs. right—it's about elites vs. everyone else. We get into Trump's Middle East strategy, the realignment of the working class, and why the media still refuses to admit what's happening: the people are waking up—and the elites are losing their grip.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Virgil, master of the setup, is now laying the groundwork for some of the Aeneid's major setpieces: the love affair with Dido, the voyage into the underworld. But first Aeneas has to pass a different milestone, one that people sometimes miss: he has to say goodbye to his father. It's one of the most human moments of the poem--something every single one of us has to go through--elevated to magisterial significance in the hero's journey. Follow along with us to the end of Book III as Aeneas enters a new stage in his adventure. Plus: a firsthand update from the Ivies after my trip to Ithaca to give a speech at Cornell.

Ah yes, the Ivy League, those storied institutions with all their societies and rituals. In this episode of The Cameron Journal Podcast, we're talking with Matt Robinson about his new book that explores the storied lore of America's oldest and most venerable institutions.

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel answers listener questions from Instagram and TikTok (@admittedlyco) on a range of topics surrounding the college admissions process. He offers advice on balancing academic and extracurricular pressure to avoid burnout, and discusses strategies for applicants not targeting Ivy League schools. Thomas also covers gap years, when to hire a college advisor, international applicants, and how deferred applicants should approach their LOCI. Key Questions: "How do we balance not burning these kids out before they even arrive on campus? Feels like a feedback loop that needs to change. College admissions are expecting more, students are doing more, or doing more elite activities, and then admissions expects these things are the norm." "Would you mind addressing how your intent applies to students that aren't looking at the big Ivies?" "How to balance life as a teen and top academic achievement in a manner that is healthy and avoids burnout?" "Thoughts on a gap year? How do you make the most of a gap year?" "As a parent of a rising ninth grader, when do you recommend hiring a college advisor?" “How important is having national or international awards for top schools? Is having none going to get you rejected?" Advice for international applicants, especially in creating opportunities when extracurricular activities may not be as prevalent in their countries. How deferred applicants are reviewed during regular decision and how to strategically approach a letter of continued interest. Remember, navigating college admissions is all about finding the right balance, staying true to yourself, and focusing on what truly matters. Trust in your unique journey.  Be sure to follow Thomas on Instagram and TikTok at @admittedlyco. Feel free to DM your questions or drop them in the comments—there's a lot of great engagement happening between students, parents, and those with experience!

This week, Alex and Greg meet up at UATX and are joined by Dr. Christopher Nadon, Associate Professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College and teacher of Western Civilization and humanities at Emet Classical Academy in New York. The group touch on Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind before delving into Dr. Nadon's experience with just how far American students have fallen academically in recent decades. But not all hope is lost, as the group also discuss potential solutions to the rot infesting the American education system. Recommended reading: The Classical Cure for the Ivies

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]Another day in this election, another weird claim about trans people.On Wednesday, J.D. Vance sat down for a long interview with Joe Rogan, doing his usual schtick of making a litany of absurd claims, among them that high school students are “becoming trans” to secure an advantage in the notoriously competitive Ivy League admission process, explaining it this way:“If you are a middle-class or upper-middle-class white parent and the only thing that you care about is whether your child goes into Harvard or Yale, like, obviously, that pathway has become a lot harder for a lot of upper-middle-class kids.”Sigh… okay, so, let's all take a breath and put on our thinking caps.For any trans person or someone who has a trans loved one, the first question that comes to mind is: how on earth would this be worth it?Because even in the most progressive areas of the country, trans youth and their families still face intense cultural obstacles. Even where non-discrimination laws exist for trans people, anti-trans sentiment doesn't simply disappear.Any trans person can tell you that even in places where 99% of folks have no issues with trans people, all it takes is one transphobic person to cause trouble.And they do! Let's be clear about that: anti-trans harassment and discrimination happen everywhere in the United States. Simply residing in a progressive place doesn't insulate trans people from bigotry.Last month, Jo Yurcaba of NBC News reported on the CDC's 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, data gathered last year but published about three weeks ago.In regards to trans high school students, the data is predictably horrifying. About a quarter of trans and questioning students surveyed had attempted suicide in the past year, 40 percent reported being bullied, and about 70 percent reported persistent sadness or hopelessness.Bottom line: it really ain't great to be a trans youth in the current climate.So, even if a non-trans high school student were presenting as “trans” to obtain a mythological advantage (more on that in a sec), they would quickly find out that transphobia still very much exists.I just can't see how it would be worth it. It doesn't make sense.Okay, so, what if a non-trans student didn't publicly come out as "trans” but lied on their college application about being trans in order to gain that mythological advantage?That's a hell of a roll of the dice, isn't it? A family would basically be betting that their college applicant could keep their false representation a secret, limited only to the admissions committee, risking all the consequences that would come with any future revelation that they lied on their application.That doesn't make sense, either.But here's the kicker to all this: trans youth are woefully underrepresented at Ivy League universities and clearly don't have an admissions advantage when applying.That CDC national survey also reported that about 3.3 percent of high school students identify as transgender.Harvard's entering freshmen class this year has 0.7 percent trans students, a fifth of the national average.UPenn's entering class is 1.0 percent.Princeton's entering class is 1.4 percent.Dartmouth's entering class is 1.6 percent.Brown and Cornell have neither publicly-available, official statistics nor student surveys on trans students matriculating this year.The entering classes of Yale and Columbia are tied for the highest rate of trans students among the Ivies: two percent, nearly half the national average of high school trans students.Most of these college stats were gathered from student surveys conducted by campus newspapers. I was unable to find any evidence that these institutions factor in an aspiring matriculant's gender identity when considering their application.Maybe a top university outside the Ivies does?Stanford has no publicly available data on this, so I called their admissions office, and after explaining my inquiry, a polite but understandably incredulous staffer told me: “We don't collect that information during the admissions process.” They directly confirmed that trans applicants have no advantage.Not wanting to waste anyone else's time on this—or mine—I left it there. It's abundantly clear that being transgender offers no clear advantage when applying to our nation's top universities.But I also have to ask: why shouldn't being transgender make an aspiring applicant stand out a bit?Being trans is a rare life experience which has constantly been at the center of American public life over the past several years and certainly shows no signs of going away in the national discourse.If a college education is meant to include developing social skills for their future place in the workforce and learning from other students of widely different backgrounds, doesn't it seem reasonable that all college students, regardless of gender identity, benefit from having trans classmates?I feel the same way about conservative students. Having young people of varying political backgrounds and viewpoints in good faith conversation with each other is a necessary thing for civic engagement and professional development, and it should be encouraged.It reminds me of a heartwarming conversation I read recently between two friends who met each other as law school students, one of them a trans progressive and the other a non-trans conservative.The conservative had a written a memoir in which he described his trans friend in a manner that he realized might not accurately reflect their identity. He wrote the friend an email apologizing for the error.The trans friend wrote him back with a kind reply, offering grace and understanding and good faith.The two signed off their respective emails with love, reflective of a long friendship that was built on trust, despite their divergent political views.The conservative in this story is J.D. Vance, and his trans friend—whom he would later betray by selling out to to horrific anti-trans views—is Sofia Nelson.So, maybe this expectation of sociocultural exchange doesn't guarantee good outcomes, especially when one of the parties throws away their value system for fame and power. It's almost as though J.D. Vance knows what he's saying about trans people is flat-out wrong and hateful and counterproductive, and he's decided that betraying people he claims to love—let alone an entire vulnerable community—is worth it.And that does beg the conclusion: if this is how he's used his Ivy League degree, it probably makes sense he imagines anyone else would lie to get one.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

Hiring managers have long used the reputation of a new college graduate's alma mater as an indicator of an applicant's ability and expected job performance. Elite national consulting, banking and investment firms focused their recruiting on the Ivy League and a handful of the other most selective schools. Big companies looked more widely, but still often favored a limited number of highly ranked universities. Regional firms would tap graduates of schools with the best reputations in their geographic area.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Just James, Peter and Rob this week to wade through the disaster that has become of American higher education. Naturally, the essential question arises: what do we do about these once-prestigious institutions? The Ricochet trio think it through.

The recent turmoil, protests and an apparent lack of accountability at many prestigious American institutions of higher learning have begged a question: is an Ivy League education still worth the cost? Does the rarefied air of these schools for the elite still impress the American public the way it once did, not so long ago? If not, why and when did it happen? What's more, will it ever again.   In this episode of Trading Perspectives, Sam and John discuss the ongoing protests at numerous Northeastern colleges and universities and wonder whether these schools will return to position of prominence with the common man. The answer isn't as simple as yes.

Meritocracy: the idea that people should be advanced according to their talents rather than their birth.

When students are asked where they want to college, many of them will list a college based on rank or brand - because that's what they are exposed to. While rankings can be a good way to start the college search, a top-ranked school doesn't necessarily equate to a successful college experience or future. After all, US News and World Report rankings were created to sell magazines. Join Mark and Anna as they chat about rank, brands and society's obsession with elite schools and how families can craft a better list for college.

Welcome to Season 12 Episode 38 of the ParentingAces Podcast, a proud member of the Tennis Channel Podcast Network. Coach Traci Green, Head Women's Tennis Coach at Harvard University, joins Lisa to share her tennis journey and what sets the Ivy League tennis programs and academics apart. Traci Green's success as a coach follows a highly successful career as an undergraduate at the University of Florida. She was a member of the Gators' 1998 NCAA championship team and was ranked as high as No. 5 nationally in doubles and No. 12 in singles during the 1999-2000 season. Her teams won two ITA national indoor championships (1997, 1999) and ranks among Florida's career leaders in singles and doubles wins. Green was a three-time first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection in both singles and doubles. In addition to her coaching, Green also served as an adjunct faculty member in the Temple University College of Education, where she taught courses in the department of kinesiology. She also continues to serve as a USTA Presidential Appointee in a board adjacent role, on the board of the Black Women in Sport Foundation, on the USPTA Diversity & Inclusion Committee, and as Outgoing Board Chair of the Sportsmen's Tennis and Enrichment Center. Coach Green cherishes her role as mentor and coach to the young women who fall under her purview at Harvard. She understands that the college years are an opportunity to grow as tennis players and as humans, preparing for life after competition. You will hear her talk about how Harvard looks at athletics when reviewing applicants and the role of academic success when seeking a coveted spot at an Ivy League university. As Danielle McNamara explained in an earlier podcast episode, students who want to play college tennis absolutely must pursue academic excellence throughout high school.

"Marijuana Magic: Enhancing Exercise and Easing PainLarry Mishkin discusses the debut of the song "Sugaree" by the Grateful Dead, sharing interesting facts about its origins and performance history. Additionally, he presents three stories from Marijuana Moment, highlighting how medical marijuana is linked to reduced pain and lower opioid dependency in chronic pain patients, enhances the runner's high and reduces pain during exercise, and improves the quality of life for military veterans while reducing their prescription drug use. Produced by PodConx  Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergRecorded on Squadcast  July 31, 1971: Astronauts Drive on the Moon1971: Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin drive the Lunar Roving Vehicle on the surface of the moon. It's the first off-planet automobile ride. Rumor has it that sometime during the show, Jerry stopped playing, pointed to the moon, and said, “just think, right now there are men sleeping on THAT” Confession, I listened to almost the entire show and was not able to locate that moment so I cannot confirm Jerry said it, but it sounds like something he might say and either way is just another cool Dead story to pass along. INTRO:                Sugaree                           Track No. 3                           Start – 1:14                            Sugaree" is a song with lyrics by long-time Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter and music by guitaristJerry Garcia.[1] It was written for Jerry Garcia's first solo album Garcia, which was released in January 1972. As with the songs on the rest of the album, Garcia plays every instrument himself except drums, played by Bill Kreutzmann, including acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and an electric guitar played through a Leslie speaker. Released as a single from the Garcia album, "Sugaree" peaked at #94 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1972 and was Garcia's only single ever on that chart.[2]The song was first performed live by the Grateful Dead on July 31, 1971, at the Yale Bowl at Yale University,Even though it was on Jerry's solo album, it was clearly a Dead song from the start and here it is debuted by the Dead six months before the Garcia album's release. Maybe not the best version ever, but it is the first. Ultimately played 361 times by the Dead. Last played on July 8, 1995, the penultimate Dead show Always one of good buddy Mikey's favorite Dead songs, “What's shaking Sugaree?”.  Shout out to Mikey, Alex, Andy, Lynn, Harold who just saw Tedeschi Truck this past weekend at Red Rocks.  My wife and I had to miss it this year, but I know they all rocked out.  And, they were joined by Lori and Monte, more good Chicago friends, and Lori was part of the group at the Joanie Jam with Judy and Andy.  So lots of great musical cross relationships developing all the time.  THAT IS WHY WE GO TO SHOWS!   SHOW #1:                   Mr. Charlie                                    Track No. 4                                    Start – 1:15             This is also the breakout version of this song.  It was played a total of 50 times after its debut on 7/31/71 in New Haven, the same show at which Sugaree debuted. It was played at all 22 shows of the Europe '72 tour, including its last performance on May 26, 1972 at the Lyceum Ballroom in London, the last show of that famous tour. Lyrics by Robert Hunter, music by Pigpen.  It was Pig's song and as his time in the band dwindled, so did some of his tunes.  No post-Pig resurrection of the song by the band.Never released on a studio album, there are rumors of a planned album following Workingman's and American Beauty that would have included this song as well as Bertha, He's Gone, Loser, Brown Eyed Women, Ramble on Rose, Tennessee Jed, The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion), etc.  Might have even been enough tunes for a double album. Story is that the Dead abandoned it when they decided to get out of their Warner Bros. record deal. SHOW #2:          Hard to Handle                             Track No. 12                             Start – 1:06           "Hard to Handle" is a 1968 song written by American soul singer Otis Redding along with Al Bell and Allen Jones. Originally recorded by Redding, it was released in 1968 as the B-side to "Amen" (shortly after the singer's sudden death in 1967). The song also appears on the 1968 album The Immortal Otis Redding. Redding's version reached number 38 on the Billboard R&B chart and number 51 on the pop chart.[1]American rock band the Black Crowes covered the song for their 1990 debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, reaching number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 with their rendition.Hard To Handle was performed by the Grateful Dead about 90 times between March 15, 1969 at the Black and White Ball, opened the show with it (The ball is the Bay Area's largest black-tie street party and a tradition since 1956 - a night for high society and just plain folks to mingle in gowns and tuxedoes around Civic Center Plaza to listen to music. ) and August 1971. It was subsequently performed only twice, on December 30 and 31, 1982, with Etta James taking the vocals and support from the Tower of Power horns.Another fun Pig lead that, like most of his other songs, died with him. SHOW #3:                  Sugar Magnolia                                    Track No. 24                                    3:10 – 4:23Still relatively new in the Dead's repertoire, I like the musical jam in this version and so does the crowd. We all know the lyrics but it is this kind of jamming that made this a Dead standard and favorite among Deadheads.  This version is still early enough that it appears in the middle of the second set, not yet having moved to its almost always spot as a second set closer.  Always sad when they get to the obvious set closer, but when it was Sugar Mag we all felt a lot better.   Notes from Deadheads mentioned this as one of the highlights of the show. SHOW #4:                  Darkness Jam                                    Track No. 28                                    0:56 – 2:06the 'Darkness' jam from the 1969 Youngbloods song, Darkness, Darkness which was done a few times in 1970; the most well-known version is in the 9/19/70 Not Fade Away where it's very clear. (They also do the China Cat riff in that NFA, which they did frequently (and at greater length) in the fall of 1971.). Played 4 times by the Dead in concert.  This is the LAST one. Darkness Darkness - Darkness, Darkness" is a song written by Jesse Colin Young in 1969, which has been covered by many artists. Young's band The Youngbloods released a version on their 1969 album Elephant Mountain. They released a version of the song as a single twice: in 1969, which reached #124 on the Billboard chart,[1] and in 1970, which reached #86 on the chart.[2] One of the various themed jams played by the Dead in their early years also including:Feelin' Groovy Jam - is basically four chords based on the 1966 Simon & Garfunkel song, and was frequently done in Dark Stars from '69-'72.Tighten Up Jam - The Tighten Up jam was a very common Latin-style jam theme in 1970. It's often called a proto-Eyes jam since Weir plays two repeating jazzy chords that are rhythmically similar to the opening of Eyes of the World; but they were commonly thought to be from Archie Bell & the Drells' 1968 tune.Mind Left Body Jam:      The Mind Left Body jam originated in the Planet Earth Rock n Roll Orchestra (PERRO) sessions (The Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra (PERRO) is a nickname given to some artists who recorded together in the early 1970s.[1] They were predominantly members of Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young .[2] ), where we can hear an early, faster version of the four descending chords. Paul Kantner took this riff for his 1973 song 'Your Mind Has Left Your Body,' which Garcia played pedal steel on. Garcia in turn adapted it into a Grateful Dead theme, which first showed up on occasion in '72, but started regularly entering the jams in fall '73. It added a transcendental feeling to many shows up through '74Spanish Jam:       Weir based the Spanish Jam on the song 'Solea' on Miles Davis' album Sketches of Spain, sometime in late '67 when the Dead started recording Anthem of the Sun. As it was, a little bit of the Spanish Jam actually got on the album, in the form of a short Davis-flavored trumpet break from Phil in the middle of Born Cross-Eyed (after the verse, "Think I'll come back here again, every now and then, from time to time"). For a moment, it seems like Garcia and the band are about to break into the Spanish Jam, but they quickly cut back to the song.... OUTRO:       Uncle John's Band                        Track No. 30                        1:28 – 2:44             An early version of an all time classic.  Already a crowd favorite, clapping, sing along.  Can't go wrong with an Uncle John's Band at the end of a show – actually closed out with Johnny B. Goode – no encore.  Other great stories of this show at Yale, runs in with the cops, gate crashers, gallons of electric Kool Aid at the gates.  Just another typical Dead show, but at one of the country's most prestigious schools.  Even the Ivies loved the Dead.      Still working on stories John Mayer says goodbye:            “These tours with @deadandcompany exist on an almost otherworldly plane – everyone, on stage and in the crowd, meets up in this shared dream, and on the last night, after the final note is struck, we leave it all on the stage. We bow, we hug, we share our love for one another and then… we disappear. I fly through the dead of night and wake up at home, where my ears ring, my heart sings, and I'm left with this mix of fatigue, joy, accomplishment, and deep appreciation for what I was able to be a part of,” Mayer shared. “I can feel the connected, collective experience of thousands of others who wake up feeling the same. I'll never get over the profound beauty and uniqueness of this, and we'll never in our lifetime see the likes of @bobweir@mickeyhart and @billkreutzmann, playing beyond all perceived limitations and expectations. It's nothing short of remarkable. Thank you one and all for allowing me a seat on this transcendent ride. ”     “Dead & Company is still a band – we just don't know what the next show will be,” Mayer wrote on social media. “I speak for us all when I say that I look forward to being shown the next shaft of light… I know we will all move towards it together.”

And we're back for a second season of The Mind Society! The next part of our journey will branch us out beyod the United States' northeastern region, away from the Ivies, and instead towards different regions domestically, including across borders and big ponds to different continents to hear from international psychological scholars conducting profound research. Our aim is to share what these experts have been investigating and, thus, what they've discovered. We'll cover topics such as how food plays a role in our mood, how cultural differences affect the way we interpret and engage with people from other cultures, and we'll delve deep into the impact our emotions have on our experience of the world around us. All of this and so much more! We look forward to sharing these conversations and are excited for you to come along for the ride.

In the last episode, I looked at pipelines to the university presidency and what the future of the presidency might look like.  My observation is that if we don't change what we put into the pipeline, that leads to the presidency, we shouldn't expect something different to come out the other end. The same is true for institutions. We have to look at what goes into making a university, and what we can expect the result to be. It has been suggested that institutions like the Ivies and public mega-universities  can be models for future institutions. I disagree. These are fine establishments, but they represent higher ed's legacy, not the future. They are products of a set of previous socioeconomic conditions, politics and purpose that are all different today. So where do we look for indications of what the future will look like? I think we should study institutions that are changing the pipeline by changing the mix of what goes in—and what is coming out. These places do not aspire to be like traditional models.  They are using measured, responsible strategies to forge a new model. They are not trying to go big.  They are going small to get big. We'll look at one.   EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network.

Guess what? Today you get to hear from one of my favorite people in the world, Tom Harrison.Tom is my partner and love in life - we met at the beginning of Covid over a Zoom call. It's a story that we'll share over time.Today, I want to begin with Tom's story of healing and how he came to identify that he wanted to heal. If you live in the PNW - take the opportunity to visit Tom at his storefront in downtown Everett, WA on Hewitt Ave. I invite you to play.The 411 on Tom:Tom is the Chief Wonderful Toys Officer for MyMyToyStore, an independent e-commerce retailer and retail storefront. That was not the path he was supposed to follow.As a child, he overcame a debilitating chronic asthmatic condition by becoming a competitive swimmer. His health improved enough for him to live an active childhood. He loved school and discovered a passion for reading, math, science, public speaking, acting, and visual arts. Tom was accepted into all 5 of the Ivies he applied to and selected Princeton University, where he was a Division 1 swimmer all four years.After graduating, he went straight into law school in New York City to pursue his dream of becoming a prosecutor. He had to settle instead for the world of commercial litigation. He discovered a world of complicated investigations, endless rounds of evidence gathering, and legal strategies that played out like years-long chess matches. He loved it, except for the deeply toxic work environments managed by grown-up bullies allowed to act with impunity.As with most humans, it took a close call for him to change the trajectory of his life. He survived the horror of Ground Zero on 9/11, but was left psychologically scarred by facing his imminent death. After leaving law and New York City, he tried careers in faction writing, swim coaching, marketing, and professional training, but nothing stuck.Fortunately, his son Michael was born in 2007. It was in the early years of play with him that Tom remembered and re-learned the restorative power, deep joy, and learning possibilities in play. In 2011, he launched an experiment by buying a bunch of toys on sale and listing them on ebay. The quick and successful sales led him to grow the company from an ebay seller into a multi-platform online retailer.In August 2021, he relocated from Denver, Colorado to Everett, Washington. A few months later, he opened a storefront in the heart of its historic downtown district. To Tom, it feels like the recapturing of a dream that he deferred for nearly 40 years. MyMyToyStore (based on his son's nickname) is a place where people of all ages and walks of life can connect over shared pop culture, learn how to create, and feel the joy that comes from engaging in real-world play.

By the late 1980s, most Ivy League schools were a fifth or a quarter Jewish—and the University of Pennsylvania was more Jewish than most. For starters, unlike several other Ivies, Penn was never a Christian divinity school. It's located in the heart of a big city that has had a large Jewish population going back to colonial times. Plus, it offered a plethora of professional schools, which, as we've learned in this series, appealed to students seeking social mobility in the early and mid-20th century. In the 1980s, where this episode picks up, Penn was a place where Jews felt truly comfortable.  In this episode of Gatecrashers, we explore Jewish Greek life. Jewish sororities like Alpha Epsilon Pi and Sigma Delta Tau were founded in the early 20th century by Jewish women who were excluded from the Greek system and wanted to create their own sense of sisterhood and social structure. But in the late 1980s, that sense of solidarity seems to have faded. The national headquarters of Sigma Delta Tau stepped in to make some unusual adjustments to the Penn chapter, which had been facing a membership decline. They put the entire chapter on probation following a suspicious underage drinking charge, and brought in a social club called Alpha Zeta to fill the chapter's ranks and leadership positions.  What does it mean to be a representative of Jewish womanhood, particularly in the 1980s, when stereotypes of Jewish women permeated American culture? What do the actions of SDT's national leadership tell us about Jews' place in the Ivy League, and in the wider culture, at that time? And when a minority reaches the point of feeling truly comfortable, is in-fighting inevitable?  Episode 7 of Gatecrashers features historian Shira Kohn on the rise and role of Jewish sororities, Judith Silverman Hodara on Penn's Jewish history, and several SDT and Penn alumni on the events of 1987.

On the surface, all-male Dartmouth in the 1940s and 1950s seems like it would be deeply unappealing to Jews: rural New Hampshire campus, no Jewish girls within miles, a history of antisemitic fraternities. But Jewish alumni from that era seemed to love Dartmouth. Why? Something about Dartmouth—maybe it was the bucolic campus, the mountains, all that fresh air—made for a more laid-back environment than at the other Ivies. In Episode 3 of Gatecrashers, you'll hear from Dartmouth alumni including journalist David Shribman, actor Stephen Macht, screenwriter Steven Geller, and Richard Press, Jewish scion of the preppy clothier J. Press, about how Jewish students embraced the great outdoors—and learned to love Dartmouth College.

Ivy League colleges and universities may share a certain level of selectivity and academic rigor, but they also differ in surprisingly significant ways. Amy and Mike invited educational consultant Marlena Corcoran to explain how to tell the Ivies apart. What are five things you will learn in this episode? In what ways are Ivy League schools similar? How do different Ivy League schools differ in size and structure? How do different Ivy League schools differ in culture and atmosphere? Can you send the same application to all of the Ivies? 1800 Does your alumni experience differ based on which Ivy League school you attend?
