Haha... I feel like everyone took my homecoming court think out of context. (Or maybe it's just coincidental that a couple people started talking about it after I mentioned it!) I didn't mean ANYTHING about anybody actually putting that on their applications/resume... the point I was getting to was that the things (for example, Homecoming court... or service, grades, sports... whatever!) that made a girl stand out in high school are not going to make her stand out when going through rush, because it tends to be all amazing girls who all did a million things in high school. Therefore, in a "cut-throat" rush, a PNM often has to find other ways to make herself stand out... not just rely on her resume. Whether that's looks, nice clothes, personality... who knows.
Just clarifying!!
I like this thread!
