TriSigma even has a description about teaching these values on their web page (scroll down and read "true ladies always stand out)

Etiquette classes are all the rage for those men and women who hope to climb the corporate ladder. Classes are also now being taught in colleges around the nation.
Good manners never go out of style, and hopefully, don't discriminate between "the right" and the "left."
