Rich for a Night
Subject
The student speaks on her experience within the social scene at Middlebury. She states that she is "a minority who is extremely privileged" and "struggles to find a place where I truly belong and find that the social scene here can at times be exclusive". She describes how recent parties have incredibly offensive, sexist, and privileged themes. In this article, she takes a specific issue with a party that was themed "Country Club".

Coverage
"It is no secret that Midd has a predictable social scene. You know that, for example, you will usually find the athletes at Atwater and the minorities at KDR. Several friend groups are dictated by socioeconomic status, whether it is being highly privileged or being here on a full ride."
Party themes that the author mentions: "Country Club", "CEOs and Office Hoes", "Tennis Pros and Yoga Hoes", ""Naughty Professor and Slutty Schoolgirl"
"Parties like 'country club' aren't celebrating something that everyone has-- they celebrate wealth... This 'country club' party created and ensured access to only the elite, because who else goes to country clubs? It also seemed to be based on the underlying assumption that everyone who would be attending this party had a level of extreme wealth"
