Come to find out "Blue and Gold Club" is the fundraising arm of the school (its private) that is comprised mostly of alumni. However, 1 student is selected through a lenghty application/interview process to also sit on the board and this PNM was the one chosen from her senior class. Not only must she have been impressive to make that organization, but the experience, leadership, and organizational skills that she would have obtained being on that board for a year would have been very impressive on a sorority recommendation.
Too bad no one knew that, since she didn't tell us.  |
Oh, this is true too. We had one girl awhile back who had "Color Connection" on her application, no details at all. We found out later that it was a select group of dancers who got to dance in the Opening Ceremonies of the Atlanta Olympics.
Brag on yourself!!! Just don't exaggerate, because that usually gets found out.
