That’s So Rority!

sorority guidelinesOh snap! We just had a vision! Dozens of girls, flawlessly arranged on a staircase for impeccably timed meet-and-greets. Their shivering, stiletto-wearing prospects are in awe of the sisters, rocking their Greek letters layered under cardigans and wearing “Blake Lively natural makeup,” as opposed to a RuPaul look. (Because Serena van der Woodn’t, right?)

Guess what? This vision is totes accurate, as we’ve just been tipped a very thorough Dos and Don’ts list for one unnamed sorority’s rush. Yesterday, we showed you the menu potential Greek males will enjoy this rush, but the ladies best take note that the necessity of a perfect look during rush doesn’t stop freshman year. If you’re blessed with a bid, a year from now you’ll be allowed to be forbidden to wear leggings as pants!

So schmooze harder than ever – but not unless you “wear the baseball cap to cover a bad hair day.” Check out the full leaked guidelines for these Amigas Cheetahs after the jump. Happy Rush from Upsilon Tau Beta! Read the rest of this entry »

Is Penn Really The Eighth Most Stylish School In The Country?

Short answer: probably not. Actually, most definitely not. On the one hand, yes, we do have The Walk, but we’re not sure that entitles us to a place within the top ten of Stylitics‘ “Most Stylish Campus in America” campaign. Really, do Longchamp totes and Tory Burch flats classify as stylish any longer? Did they ever?

But as with most internet competitions these days, there’s some sort of weird social media catch to Stylitics‘ rankings. See, with this one, the only way to gain a spot on the leaderboard is to accumulate points by making a profile on the website to gain followers and to share on Facebook and Twitter. Essentially, Penn’s #8 ranking can be chalked up to the number of people who are using the site, which would similarly explain why WVU is beating the Fashion Institute of Technology by 17 places. Fancy that! All things considered, Stylitics, sashay…away.
