You just have to be a

You are right, Kathy! (Don't ask me who Dr. Pepinsky was/is -- I have no clue.) I also was familiar with a variation of this saying -- Back in my day at my school, each pref attendee was given a flower to take. Tied to my white carnation at the Chi Omega pref party was this saying.
