One has a common name that is too tough to Google, but the other is a KD from BSC.

Not impressed with the website. Everything seems squished together which makes it hard for things to stand alone.

As for if it will fly....we'll see...

(Personally, I wouldn't want to be called a biddy.)

I think that their use/choice of the word "biddie" is also a play on the word bid...which is what they are guaranteeing. At least that's what I thought when I first went to the site.

Yes, as someone with a marketing/PR degree. People with no experience in that field often think something is clever and makes sense to them, even when it really doesn't. I didn't say I thought it was effective but it did cross my mind.

Yeah, that took me until Titchou's post until it clicked. Biddie to me is this:

The New York Times has a cover story about "rush consultants."
That is, today's issue, 7/16/12.

Excerpted from the NY Times article:

"Samantha von Sperling is an image consultant in New York, but lately her bread-and-butter Wall Street clients have asked her to help their daughters get ready for rush at schools like Harvard; the University of Wisconsin, Madison; and New York University, which has added three chapters since 2006 and more than doubled the number of sisters, to 570."

Ladies, what are we doing wrong? This woman charges $8000 for a Friday thru Sunday session. I just spent an hour with a terrific young woman today for free! And there is no ZTA chapter where she will be attending college!
