The Randomness of How Students Currently Meet at College

While keeping tabs on some student blogs in my RSS feed, I came across a video about some students who met in college and started a band. What caught my eye was when one of the band members talked about how they initially met:



I think most people would agree that this band's story of connecting is pretty much how people meet at college. While there is a romantic side to the random connection of strangers that leads to international music success, how many students never stumble into relevant connections that would increase their social integration? As important as social integration is, the current "system" is very inefficient which is why Red Rover's potential excites us. The bonus is everything within Red Rover is measurable.
