We ourselves razz those who are ultra-accomplished in WoW, asserting that they are either kids with no responsibilities, or more likely, dudes who can't get laid.

Hamilton ’07, president of Harvard Black Men’s Forum, which uses money donated through the gift fund. “It really sends the implicit message that the administration is not supportive of student groups that positively enrich the community,” he added. Petersen said that 24 of Harvard’s older student groups have their own endowments managed by the Harvard Management Corporation and are thus not affected...
