Californiagirls's Recruitment thread!

[CaliforniaGirl7]

Thanks for everyone who left kind words for me. Recruitment went really well today. Because so many people have requested to hear my story via PM, I'm going to leave some very discrete comments.

Reese Witherspoon - The girls here were very sweet. I love their philanthropy, and everyone was very friendly. I liked them.

Jennifer Anniston - The girls here were very fun. I really liked the way they have participated in many activities on campus, and I really got along well with one girl I talked to. I loved them.

Natalie Portman - The girls here were so excited. I was so excited to hear their cheers, and I thought they were all so cute. I loved them.

Mischa Barton - The girls here were so friendly. I like how each girl was really unique, I also had a lot in common with one girl I chatted with. I loved them.

Rachel McAdams - The girls here were very put together. I really liked how much spirit they had, and how organized they were. I liked them.

Scarlett Johansson - The girls here were very outgoing. I really liked how everyone I talked to seemed excited to see me, and I loved their outfits. I loved them.

Sarah Jessica Parker - The girls here were very smart. I talked to a pre-med major and a pre-law major. They all were very well-spoken. I liked them.

Beyonce- The girls here were very enthusiastic about their sorority. I liked how close the girls seemed, and the conversation topics were interesting. I liked them.

Gwenyth Paltrow - The girls here were really spirited. I talked to a former cheerleader, and their excitement was so contagious. I loved them.

Cameron Diaz - The girls here were really funny. I loved how the sisters cracked jokes with eachother, and I was laughing almost the entire time. I liked them.

Kate Hudson - The girls here were so down-to-earth. I really liked how proud they seemed of their sorority heritage, and everyone was very sweet. I liked them.

I'm sorry I can't offer you more. But I figured something is better than nothing. I'm exhausted, and I'll let everyone know where I go back. If you PM me about a specific sorority/actress name I can give you some more details. Hope everyone had a great day.

Love,

Cali girl

"An old custom prohibits the wearing of white after Labor Day. The custom is rooted in nothing more than popular fashion etiquette.[1] In actuality, the etiquette originally stated that white shoes were the taboo while white or "winter white" clothes were acceptable.[2] This custom is fading from popularity as it continues to be questioned and challenged, particularly by leaders in the fashion world. "Fashion magazines are jumping on this growing trend, calling people who 'dare' to wear white after Labor Day innovative, creative, and bold. Slowly but surely, white is beginning to break free from its box, and is becoming acceptable to wear whenever one pleases. This etiquette is also compared to the Canadian fashion rule of not wearing green after Rememberance day. "[3]"

This article cites another web article which I think sums up the rule perfectly:
"We can only surmise that the point of this rule is to ensure that people only wear summer fashions during the actual summer months. The opposite probably applies as well, but people generally don't need to be reminded to avoid wearing a goose-down parka in 100-degree weather."

I know a lot of people in the fashion industry and white is perfectly acceptable to wear right now. Should you wear white linen pants when it's 60 degrees? I would vote no. A high fashion mod white dress, I vote YES!

Unless you are attending UCLA Presents and you're a new member... in which case, yes, you wear white after Labor Day!

I agree...I have a gorgeous white coat that is ONLY appropriate for winter. It seems to be more about the material than the color. Just as white linen would be odd in winter, a white wool sweater would be odd in summer.

No white is supposed to only apply from the waist down - and wouldn't include sweaters & coats. I've also heard that many people exclude white tennis shoes as well.

I was thinking that as I was typing...but I think she was scared off. Hopefully she's having a good rush and we'll hear where she ends up.

I'm guessing it's much less strict in California than in the South. Here, it's pretty much winter white or no white at all. And I agree with the above - no white below the waist!!!
