Correct me if I'm wrong, but the point of article about the Big 6 isn't about sisterhood. It's about social prestige.

Just got my copy of Prudence Mackintosh's book "Just as We Were, a Narrow Slice of Texas Womanhood" and surprisingly it is published by University of Texas Press. Hmmmm

I just reread this thread. I'm going to remember this quote this fall every time someone comes down on an 18-year-old for being shallow in recruitment; yeah, in a perfect world, they wouldn't be but it's the nature of the beast at that age.
