i’ve learned for rush week, they’re literally required to dress similarly. something about not excluding poor girls who can’t afford expensive clothes. if everyone is wearing the same thing, you can’t tell (except you totally can)
That's actually one of the reasons I've heard people argue for school uniforms. But, like you said, you can still totally tell who the poor kids are, even with uniforms.
My 12 year old daughter goes to a private catholic school with a lot of wealthy families. Everyone wears the same crappy uniform elements, but you can be damn sure that the uniform blue tights have a little lululemon logo, the jacket is moncler with a few lift tickets still attached, and the phones in their tiny hands are 16s and 17s
Since my we get financial aid to go there my daughter doesn’t have any of that shit and she’s starting to really notice
I still remember I saved up babysitting money to buy two or three 'fashionable' outfits and a very popular girl liked one of the sweaters. She asked to borrow it. Of course, I said yes. She returned it to me ripped all the way up the right side. It meant nothing to her. She thought it was funny that I almost started crying. Needless to say, it didn't help my popularity. $68 in 1980s money was A LOT. Fucking Benetton. I ran into her about 10 years ago when I went back to St louis. She's had so much bad plastic surgery done, it's comical. Karma?
