I'm kind of glad that we don't wear high heels to games, considering that the student section stands the whole game. Not to mention that as cute as dressing up sounds, we'd freeze in skirts for most of the season up here. It sounds like a lot of fun, though.

As for the Gold Stars thing, I think many of the big schools in the South have a program like this -- many have separate groups for different sports, and it is usually a huge honor. I think one or two of the groups have come under fire for insinuating that the ladies should do "anything" (you know what they mean) to try and get potential football or basketball players to sign, though, which is disturbing. Fortunately I don't think that is a widespread phenomenon, and many schools' "hostess" organizations help out with a variety of sports, both male and female. I think that is one of the reasons that more schools outside of the South don't have similar programs, though -- what is widely revered tradition in South would probably come under fire as school-sanctioned low-level pimping in many schools outside of it.
