It's disrespectful, and IMO, just an erroneous assumption.
But they won't. That doesn't mean they won't have something just as good, if not even better, as far as they're concerned. I won't ever have the same bonds that people who went to boarding school together had. That doesn't mean I don't have things in my life just as good or better. Do you understand what I'm saying? MC seemed to get it. Or are you being willfully obtuse?

And OR is so right about the Junior League being just as, if not more competitive than a sorority in some places. That's why I kind of inwardly chortle when people suggest it (i.e. if you thought sorority rush was full of rejectment, you ain't seen NOTHING yet).
