Old money grew up in New England, went to boarding school at Exeter, vacations in Nantucket, goes to school at Harvard, and never crosses below the Mason-Dixon line. Northern legacy. TFM.
Harvard has 4 fraternites. Only one has an actual house. And their parties actually kind of suck. So good for you for your nice boarding school. This site is more focused on actual fraternity life. Which you have nothing to do with. So this post just doesnt quite make sense. We would have blackballed your pretentious ass in about a week.
Yeah it is called a fraternity. I don’t go to Harvard, but finals clubs are the same thing as fraternities (pledging, all male, etc), people at Harvard are too pretentious to call them that.
On a side note, FDR said the worst thing that ever happened to him was not getting into Porcelain Club. Having a hard life, TFM.
Also if you haven’t made a million dollars by the time you’re 40 Porcelain Club gives it to you…according to rumors
Harvard does have actual fraternities that they call fraternities. I’ve only met some of the brothers of SAE, but most of them were underclassmen waiting to be punched for a club, anyways.
Somerset, NJ isn’t technically New England but most everyone who lives there is an ex or current New York banker, private equity MD, or hedge fund manager.
The prestige and wealth associated with the positions is the point, the location not technically being in New England is irrelevant, especially when you went to high school in New England and even from Somerset can get in a car and be in NE in 45 minutes.
And you yanks call us southerners dumb. There is no possible way that you can be from New Jersey to New England in 45 minuetes unless you teleport through NY. Also you don’t know shit NY live in Rye NY where I grew up for 12 years (so did the Bush’s its okay) and summer in the Hamptons.
Hey Southern schoolers, unless you go to Vanderbilt, Rice, Virginia, Johns Hopkins, or Emory, you will never sniff Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, or even UBS. Have fun at Piper Jaffray or doing retail at Wachovia.
first off i want to say this is not some southern pride thing. i was born and raised in kennebunkport, maine. secondly, i hope you are kidding, especially since you claim to be some educated harvard guy, but just in case you aren’t i will tell you.
wake forest is a small private university in north carolina. its got the same national ranking as UVA and its ranking is just a little higher than tuft’s (you know that school in massachusetts )
Guys, what yoyo brah is saying is that W&L, Tulane, W&M, Davidson, Rhodes, Furman, University of the South, UNC, Wofford, Centre, USNA, SMU and Richmond are all a bunch of god damn shitholes with a bunch of fucking southern retards. Alumni from there all work at Piper Jaffray or do retail at Wachovia, unless they went to Vanderbilt, Rice, Virginia, Johns Hopkins, or Emory, in which case they are sniffing Goldman Sachs.
icehoused, I hope you weren’t being sarcastic. While I may have overlooked Duke (don’t know how I could do that some of the best guys I know went to Duke), who the hell are Centre, Wofford, Richmond, and UNSA? I think we had one guy from the Washington and Lee work in HR, so I guess you’ve got that going for you. As for SMU, have fun with equities in Dallas.
It’s this thing called the United States Naval Academy (sp?), a little school in Maryland that trains officers for the Navy and Marines. It’s a lot of people’s fall back school, so don’t feel like a northern ass-jackfuck for not recognizing the abbreviation. I’m not going to try to defend southern lib art schools, because clearly you’re smarter and they don’t produce successful alumni like yourself.
yoyobrah,
if you are all the things you claim to be then you would not need to come on this site and brag about it. anyone who’s taken psych 101 knows thas a huge red flag.if you really think that everyone wants to work for those companies or in finance at all then i feel sorry for you. We all know all those jobs are going to go to asians (they work harder for less money and dont expect any reward) who cant think for themselves while the big guys up stairs (which you are not) pull the strings. So have fun losing your job to an asian. Not saying that SEC schools are so awesome but you dont have to go to one of your mentioned schools to get where you want. Everyone knows success is up to the individual’s ability to promote themselves, so to say that someone “Wont get a sniff” of somthing soley because of where they went to school is beyond stupid. I know kids from who went to illinois state (the worst school in the world) that are multi-millionares and kids who went to princeton who are doing clerical work at a sup par law firm. the street goes both ways.
Hey “brah” why don’t you get your GDI, liberachi, snicklefritz smoking ass out of here and do something with your life instead of counter-commenting everyones posts within 5 minutes.
yoyo brah is a retard. Each school has it’s own alumni network. If you don’t go to Harvard Yale Princeton you probably aren’t getting a job at Goldman (and yes they hire asians, but they are all quants the real $ goes to waspy grads from HYP). I go to Yale but I guarantee that someone from Alabama has a better chance at getting a job in the Oil industry than I do. The same way I have a better chance at working on wall street than they do. The same way that Cali fags have a stronger network with sillicon valley start ups. America is a great country, and there is a lot of money in a lot of different places. Stop trying to out douche people by saying the only place to get rich is at Goldman. First of all the whole I Banking game changed when these firms went public (it’s no longer the 80s where partners walked away with 20 mill a year), and second of all every wealthy person in the US doesn’t work at Goldman, MS, JPM, CS, etc. There are a lot of wealthy people in a lot of places, and a lot of them didn’t go to HYP. That being said, maybe I am biased, I think it is a lot easier to become successful if you graduate from HYP (and are WASPY/well connected) just because those are billion dollar name brands with a lot of pulling power
Did yoyo brah seriously ask what USNA is? As icedhoused said it’s THE United States Naval Academy, aka Annapolis. Anyone with half a brain stem knows the prestige of all the Academies, and you’ve sadly just proven how truly uneducated you are. Get the fuck out of this country you disrespectful shit.
Despite yoyo overlooking duke, unc, w&l, and davidson i generally agree with what he is saying. If you go to Bama or LSU, you have no chance at Goldman or Blackstone. Sorry. I know yall frat a lot harder than the southern private schools listed above with the exception of w&l maybe, and I’m damn jealous of it, but at least I have an outside shot to get a job at the highest echelon in finance.
Ya alright fratfavre, Maryland might have a good b-school but no one there ends up on the Street. AccuFrat has some facts right and some wrong. Goldman most definitely hires outside of HYPS, they probably hire from about 40-50 different schools, and there are definitely people there from good but not great private schools like Boston College/USC or good but not great public schools Michigan/Wisconsin/Illinois, but there sure as hell is not anyone there from anywhere in the SEC outside of Vanderbilt. Yeah someone from Alabama could make money being in the oil industry or managing a shitty business in Birmingham but no one gives a shit about stuff like that, you carry no prestige or power. Start reading the Leveraged Sellout and learn a thing or two about the business.
northern chicks are literally the most unpleasant creatures i have ever met, no matter how physically attractive they look. southern girls are better, hands down. and i go to school in the north.

14 years ago at 9:19 pmYou’re stupid if you actually think that.
14 years ago at 9:23 pmYou’re gay. Your post sucks. Get off this site.
14 years ago at 9:24 pmIt’s weird then how my father graduated from UGA and is a hedge fund manager at Goldman Sachs’ Atlanta office. I wonder how that worked out…
14 years ago at 9:29 pmHahaha it’s hilarious that you think being a manager at a HF in a GS Atlanta office is prestigious.
14 years ago at 9:32 pmyou forgot Duke, UNC, and Wake Forest. most of my brothers are inheriting their jobs after graduating, they dont need to actually go work somewhere.
14 years ago at 9:33 pmWhat’s Wake Forest? Is that a community college?
14 years ago at 9:35 pmfirst off i want to say this is not some southern pride thing. i was born and raised in kennebunkport, maine. secondly, i hope you are kidding, especially since you claim to be some educated harvard guy, but just in case you aren’t i will tell you.

14 years ago at 9:33 pmYeah well I mean you have to figure at least half to 3/4 will marry each other, so in reality that puts you at a relatively small number.
