Stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
There aren't many of them at Columbia anymore, but back in President Nicholas Murray Butler's day, recruiting them to make the school seem more like Yale or Princeton than the province of tenement-dwelling immigrant commuter ethnoids was a top priority. It's since been relaxed, what with affirmative action and stuff, though there are still a few legacy students around who benefit from those days.
