A Wharton MBA Party Is Somehow Newsworthy

white_party

Early last week, Bloomberg Businessweek decided the world must know about a Wharton MBA white party. We have many, many questions:

Why is it news that Wharton MBA students plan and attend parties?

Why is it news the attendees dressed in white and some wore heels and others did not? 

Why is it news that MBAs are happy to see each other in social settings?

Why is it news that MBAs dance?

Why is it news that MBAs are gay?

Why is it news that MBAs drink?

Why is it news that MBAs take pictures?

Why is is news that other business schools have similar parties and Wharton students also have other parties that are a lot like this one?

Is it because Wharton MBAs aren't expected to party despite being primarily young adults who like having a good time?

Is is because gay Wharton MBA's throw parties that are well attended? 

Is it because people wore white?

Confused? We would say "join the party" but they might decide that is worthy of an article too.
