...people that students choose to associate with derive from artificial and arbitrary categories. These categories are frequently linked to the extracurricular activities that we pursue--for example, students will characterize themselves as jocks, IOP/U.C. politicos, Crimson editors, Diversity and Distinction literati, musicians, a capella junkies or PBHA do-gooder types...
