Touche hipsters – you may have won this round, but we will not surrender.
Though Brown has its share of tree-huggers and trustafarians, we know that it is also home to an abundance of patagonia-clad, boatshoe-wearing, dizzybat playing varsity-letter athletes and future politicians. Prep is deeply engrained in our school’s legacy, even older than Keeney Quad or the Van Wickle Gates. Our preppy nature and formerly ivy-covered buildings have been featured in the pages of the prepster’s bible, Take Ivy; “Bruno” is a member of The Official Preppy Handbook’s glossary; it is the alma mater of both a Rockefeller AND a Kennedy; we even have customized Vineyard Vines merchandise! Clearly that wasn’t enough for our friends over at Brooks Brothers, who decided not to include Brown in its new line of “College Apparel.”
Don’t they know who we are? Can’t someone make an “angry” phonecall to Daddy? In fine Brown fashion, it’s time stage a boycott – bye bye Brooks Brothers, hello J.Crew.
we may have not made the brooks brothers list but we did make this one: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/14/the-most-hipster-colleges_n_898059.html#s308146&title=Brown_University
and i actually feel okay about that.
