"They sell Columbia, the campus and all the positive aspects of student life."

"This is where the girls are really beneficial in helping recruit the mothers." Angela Harmon, a criminal justice senior, has been a Classic lor two years. She enjoys meeting prospects who have different backgrounds and personalities. "It helps you develop communication skills," Harmon said.
