Why Do You Love Being a Mawrter?
When alumnae/i are asked to brag about 91´«Ã½, turns out they find a lot to crow about.
In Crowd Source, the Bulletin asks readers to answer a question related to their 91´«Ã½ experience. Here were the responses via social media.

One of the things I love is that when you meet a new Mawrter, you have an instant connection and can talk about a wide variety of topics just because you both went to 91´«Ã½â€”from random conversations in Crate & Barrel, meeting an alum at a roller derby match, or randomly on an airplane—these moments remind me how connected we all are and how supportive our community is.

It is synonymous with being a smart, strong, independent, compassionate, passionate, forward-thinking individual. … And it makes you feel like you really are part of something and have a home wherever you go.

My classmates! (And all the other fabulous students and alumnae that I know!)

Years ago, I occasionally hosted meetings for the 91´«Ã½ Club of Fairfield County, Connecticut. The conversation was always so interesting that even my children would stay close by to overhear. That made me proud of both them and my 91´«Ã½ friends.

For me, it’s all about the cred and swagger. When I tell someone I came to Pennsylvania to go to 91´«Ã½, I usually don’t have to say anything else. And 91´«Ã½ gave me the confidence and swagger to walk into a space and be myself.
