That bears watching over time and depends on what you call success. I'm sorry, I hate exclusive, snobby little cliques that have to disignate the "who's who and what's what and who's got what" crowd as somehow better than the man who picks up your garbage. I can tell you, I'd miss the man who picks up the garbage in this country a whale of a lot more than the likes of Edwards and his fraternity of ambulance chasers who have caused my (and your) health insurance to increase to gargantuan proportions.

Having said that, it's a free country. Free to value and try to join clubs, and free not to value and not to join such groups. There's good and bad in anything, and I'm sure some do worthwhile projects over the years.

So the Fraternity's training in pleasing other men should be handy for these professions. They'll go far sucking up and being abused.

Should we assume that rest of your class is flipping burgers?

I had several great groups of friends in College. We didn't charge for admission, didn't demand that they think like us, dress like us or submit to humiliation to be accepted, much less did we prefer the company of our own sex and denigrate the other. We looked out for each other and still do. Oddly most of us are very happy and successful. Not one of us has left his or her spouse after admitting his or her homosexuality like so many of the professional greeks I've know.
