Thinking about this, it kind of sucks because you KNOW that Average Southern Suzie PNM is probably not going to utilize this. It's the clueless out-of-stater or first generation college student with no one to go to for advice who is most likely to pay for this, not knowing that everything they're offering, you can do on your own. They're also most likely to fall for the "we guarantee it" thing.

You could get them through rush, then plan their wedding with their new bridesmaids that they've just found. You'd be like a personal one-stop high-school through MRS Degree survival shop. LOL

You know, I'm not so sure. I could see some "real" Southern belles (as opposed to out-of-state/first gen/even first gen SEC moms) doing this as well. Rush was a BIG deal in my hometown, which sent tons of young women to UF, Auburn, and Bama. Even though they were sorority women themselves and ostensibly knew what was up, they'd really go all out to make sure their daughters had everything set up.

I could see some of those women pay for a consultant. That said, if they did, the consultants would have to have a much better set up than these ladies do. Pull in some recent alumnae from a range of schools, teach the PNMs strategies about not suiciding and really keeping an open mind, and this might not be so crazy.

Their website is a little busy. Serif fonts don't really work in multiple colors.

There are a LOT of Greek alumnae in the 'Ham. I think mutual suspicion is partly to blame...so many alumnae know the girls that there's not been a need...but then Atlanta's the same way and they have a strong alum panhel.
As I said, several groups are now in the process of forming a new alum panhel.

Has anybody here used a consultant?

You should at least make the girl pay for lunch who's coming for a rec interview

There is always suresister.com and gogreekgirl.com for more business inspiration!

I want to know their credentials. Where they went to school. What group they joined. How many campuses they visited. What is their success rate?

(The "migrate" comment really tickles me!)

[SWTXBelle]

Not to mention - what percentage of their "chicks" got their top choices, or come to that, bids at all?

eta - A young woman they feature on their website went AGD at Auburn. So there's that . . .

Who: Caroline Given, 18, of Crestline. She graduated from Mountain Brook High School and will be a freshman at Auburn University in the fall.

What are some of your favorite fashion websites? "I actually get a lot of stuff from Forever 21."

This site has to be a hoax.

[AGDLynn]

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.

[Titchou]

Not a hoax, honey. They are for real!

[33girl]

I guess my humour flew over heads. I didn't think girls from that HS would admit to shopping at Forever 21.
