Why They Chose Yale: The Sex

Yale has a few reasons to be ashamed of itself: We routinely beat them at the U.S. News and World Report game. Our application numbers soared this year while they saw 200 fewer suitors. Despite all this, there is one department in which Elis seem to be more…satisfied…than Princetonians.It's "Sex Week" at Yale, which means the Yale Daily News conducted and released a sex survey, pretty similar to the one The Daily Princetonian printed last month.Let's check the competition:Percent of Men Who Claim to Have Had Sex:Yale: 69.5%Princeton: 62.4%Percent of Women Who Claim to Have Had Sex: Yale: 59.8%Princeton: 51.0%What could possibly account for Yale’s ability to beat us at this game? One Yale student says, “At the end of the day, you can get laid. … You’re not forced to see them on a daily basis so you can get away with it.” Is the problem just that Princeton is too small for this spirit of casual hookups to be acceptable? No. The problem must be deeper than that. Let’s look at some parallel discrepant figures:Average GPAs (2008)Yale: 3.51Princeton: 3.28There it is. Yale’s ability to outsex us can be explained with the very same reason they have higher GPAs than us: Inflation.(Image Source: http://blogs.princeton.edu/paw/2009/11/yale_pre.html)
