...whatever reason, members of a racial or ethnic group isolate themselves from the greater community. In a Crimson dining hall survey of 45 students, about 58 percent of students believe Harvard to be at least somewhat self-segregated. But self-segregation is a loaded term: it implies something is wrong with the way in which people interact with each other. “A lot of people would take issue with using that sort of language. Many people, myself included, feel that there is a space for individual communities on campus,” says Edward...
...predominant question is one of principle: is “self-segregation” wrong? Is it harmful? Periodically, Harvard students have called for an end to the self-segregation that ethnic groups supposedly perpetuate. In a 2005 Crimson column Jason L.

But what’s a thesis-writing, movie-craving student to do? The only option seems to be curling up with a DVD from Lamont’s extensive selection (want to watch “Ben-Hur” again?) until the perpetrator is caught, unless you?...
...Johnson says. Members are on the lookout for applicants attracted solely by the name and chance for networking. “With the entire process it really becomes clear why someone is here,” Rodriguez says, “If it’s for the wrong reasons—because they read ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and thought it’d be cool, or if they want to network—we keep an eye out for that.” Younger people may turn to Freemasonry in their search...
