''It's the way they carry themselves,'' says Sarah about lacrosse players, but really athletes in general. ''Frat stars and athletes -- those are the only ones that matter. I mean, honestly.'' Sarah looks at Allison.

''And except for three of them, they're not that attractive,'' says Allison, sighing. ''I can think of, like, three or four guys that I'd be like, 'He's hot.' But that's it.''
''I think the girls here are so much better-looking -- there are so many good-looking girls at this school,'' says Kasey.

As if on cue, a pair of gorgeous girls, one blonde, one brunette, show up dressed in tight jeans, pashmina shawls, gold jewelry and pearls. Both seniors, they're graceful, poised and seem to have the concept of ''effortless perfection'' down.

The women approach, and then leave a few minutes later with two boys who were sitting near us on the patio. One of the boys wore khakis, a white Duke baseball hat and a button-down shirt; the other was also in a button-down, with jeans and loafers. Just a couple of twenty-one-year-olds, shuffling away.

The girls look at one another conspiratorially.
''Those guys?'' says Sarah. ''Total frat stars.''
''Super-frat,'' says Allison. ''Frat-tastic.''

''And that guy,'' says Kasey, referring to the guy with the hat -- ''he gets so much ass.''
It's fairly amazing, since neither boy seemed to exude any charisma. ''That's what we're saying!'' the girls scream in unison. ''You see these girls and you're like, wow,'' says Allison. ''And you see these guys and you're like?'' Once more they look at the guys, who've re-emerged on the patio alone.

''I mean, no. Just no,'' says Allison about the guy with the hat. ''But you see how he carries himself? Like, 'I'm the man.' '' She sighs. ''I feel like in the real world, these guys would never be with these girls -- they're way too beautiful. And way too intelligent.''

Duke is the real world! Holy shit. It's not a game. If they're so smart, why don't they NOT sleep with "fratastic" boys.
