So I'm in college and my friends started using the terms "Alpha" and "Beta" to describe each other, semi-"ironically," they say. However, in terms of the group, the dichotomy is mostly true; there is certainly a clear line between who is alpha and beta.

I get called beta up here, I just generally get shat on, and I was wondering if I need to find a way to reclaim status or if I should just jump ship.
