The One Comparing SMU and Carthage
We’ll talk about the similarities later. And clearly, this is stereotypical. Clothing labels: This one’s obvious. SMU, in the cradle of privilege, supports the businesses of Gucci, Prada, and Chanel. Carthage celebrates Abercrombie and Fitch, Dooney & Burke, and Hollister. Elitism: Yes, they both have it, just in different forms. SMU likes rich, powerful, snooty, … Read more

Chalk it up to the “mandatory” DC blog, watching too many episodes of The Golden Girls, and reading The Phantom Prof blog (and its subsequent controversy with the SMU community and DC EdBoard). I like blogging. It gives me a chance to spill on … Read more
