[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does a new family get to be in the "in crowd" at Janney?  I'm not asking for myself, but obviously want my DD to have a good social experience.  Do you have to volunteer a lot?  Be a SAHM with a former "power" job?  Is there a look to cultivate?  Because everyone pretty much lives in AU Park, I assume there are no distinctions based on geography - right?[/quote]

I think what helps the most is you have to be attractive and have that "it factor".  Dress well, present yourself well, be someone that people think looks "cool".   Have natural charisma.  Generally be on the younger side of things.  Have money and spend it.
Plus you need to have a TON of face time at the school and promote yourself.

Seriously, I'm thinking of who I consider to be the "it" people at Janney and #1 thing (with little exception) is to be attractive.  Followed closely by have a very charismatic personality and money. 
Pretty much the same things that have made people popular since the 8th grade.

A high powered job will get you somewhere but not really.  Not if you're not attractive and really put together.  You need to whole package--good looks, cute (generally sporty) kids, charisma, decent clothing, elaborate vacations, nice house, ability to entertain, etc.

That's why it often feels so much like high school all over again.  It really does.  I've heard this said time and time again from friends at Janney.  It's like high school.
