Why All The Fuss About Section X?

Have you been following all the animated discussions about Section X of the HBS?

If you haven’t,here’s the gist :Apparently in HBS there is an ultra-exclusive clique of students from uber-wealthy backgrounds .They are mostly male and mostly international students from South America, the Middle East and Asia. They organize parties where there’s a really limited list of invitees and organize supposedly extravagant vacations such as weekends in Moscow. The Instagram feed of Michael Hess, a member of the class of 2013, who posted photographs of Mick Jagger close-up in concert, courtside seats at a Knicks game and stops on his trips around the world is cited as evidence. Apparently,these men of Section X drink hard,party hard and have their pick of women on the campus.Some live in penthouse suites of top end hotels and the group drives round in luxury-cars.There are surmises that Section X’ers never need work in their lives and that they are in HBS to mark time and get credentials,There is also criticism against women who decide to play the dating game with these men,in the hopes of landing a rich catch.In fact there are complaints that these men have their own lists of hot and not so hot women.
