Recruitment Story Follow Up - The Poll!

[honeychile]

Okay, it's time for a poll. For the past three years, we've all made comments on twins, sequined hose, and "this thing". Now it's time to vote. Do you think that there's a kernel of truth to this recruitment thread? Do you want to take a guess at the schools involved, the sororities involved, the number of rush infractions, the Miss America runner-up, where to get sequined hose, or exactly what is "this thing"? Keep it clean so it doesn't get out of control, but...

Please vote and voice your opinion!



ETA: You can vote more than once.

I agree. I just started reading it about a week ago, when it resurfaced, but I want to know the end. Even if it's fake, it makes for a good read and helps procrastinate reading for my classes

I didn't see a choice for "Who cares, but I want to read it because I'm peeing my pants in hysterics"

FSUZeta--Too true but she was threatening so many people, both on the boards and off, that we had to cut it short. But...she was dragging it out so long that I wondered if she even knew what "the thing" was going to be, lol.

Ugh. This entire story reeks of fiction. It's full of stereotypes and cliches, which may make for good reading, but rarely is anyone - or any two people, let alone family - so "perfect".

Seriously? "Very petite and very blond" cheerleaders (how titillating!) with a gorgeous socialite mother with a law degree she never used, a peach of a dad with the right mix of brains, good looks and charm?

I read this when it first came out. I never found out what the "thing" was, probably because I stopped reading it. Did they ever come back?

I believe it was pure fiction and funny as hell. At first I thought the "thing" was being a legacy and feeling pressured to join the same sorority. As it went on though the "thing" took on a life of its own. I started to get icky visions of she-males. God only knows what the "thing" really was. It was great for a laugh though.

[carnation]

I have often wondered if a she-male wrote it.

I wish I had thought of that option!

I want to know if sequined hose really exist. Wouldn't they run the nano-second they were put on?

My thought after rereading that thread: "I thought Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield BOTH went to Sweet Valley University."

Oh yes, they exist.

I'm coming out of lurker-dom to respond to this post because I can't help it! I choose this option! I just wanted to know what the heck everyone was talking about...and when I (attempted) to read it...I was just shaking my head in disbelief. I'm old enough to remember SVT/SVH books and this just sounds like the sequel or something.

And I'm sure sequined tights do exist, but we'd have to ask some exotic dancers to be sure! They certainly don't sound like something a society woman's daughters would wear!

Sequined hose do exist. I saw them at Saks several years ago. Ok, not exactly sequined, but glittery/flecked in a floozy black tie way. You would have to have VERY skinny legs.

I do not know the contest of the sequined hose, but bad taste exists everywhere.

Okay, the 5 of you who posted you know the school and what "that thing" is - SPILL!
