Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger...

While we joke that this blessed Orange Bubble of ours is pretty darn all-consuming, especially with the vaguely incestuous dating pool that is our campus, it's undeniable that Princeton alums are a bit...shall we say...into the whole alumni thing.  They chant, they booze it up at Reunions every year ("Yeah guys, third reunion! CHUG!"), they wear ridiculously ugly orange-and-black sport coats like they're going out of style (oh wait: they never were in style)......they join Ivy League networking communities and  Ivies-Only dating clubs?Hellz yeah, they do.  According to an article in today's Hotels Magazine, IvyLife, a free online networking group akin to LinkedIn where high-pedigree alums of Ivy League colleges can post their resumes, has netted over 12,000 members.  Founded by Princeton alum Chris Colvin and Penn grad Dale Kramer-Cohen, it's billed on their website as a place "where the transformative power, talent, and intellect of our members converge to profoundly influence our lives, our businesses, and our society."  Starting this spring, it's also hosting a series of members-only cocktail parties and biweekly brunches this at the Barclay Hotel in New York. As for the beauteous alumni dating scene, have no fear, Tigers: the Ivy Plus Society is so the place for you.  While the group throws parties in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and DC for Ivy grads (as well as alumni from other schools like Stanford, Williams, and Northwestern), the real hook is clear: over 75% of the Society's members are twentysomething singles.Pucker up, Tigers!
