		<title>Beer Pong Origins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jason Coppelas &#8216;10 posted this quote on WSO. It comes from here. It&#8217;s an article about the new reality show High Society that really isn&#8217;t worth reading, except for the following:

Beer pong, which originated at Dartmouth and achieved perfection at Williams, is, like most racquet sports, an elite pastime.

Is there truth to this?
