[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've attended a bunch of private school admissions events this fall, and I'm getting my first glimpse into a VERY distinct preppy / wasp-y crowd. They're not really Cave Dwellers (although surely some of their parents and grand-parents were) -- very few seem to work for the administration or in the government. In fact, they seem apolitical unless you count wearing a Barbour jacket as a religion. The most common threads I've been able to discern is that most are white and either from DC or the South, they all know each other well, and even though I know there are other exclusive country clubs out there, they are basically all members of the Chevy Chase Club. Who are these people: where is the money from, how were they raised, and how do they spend their time?[/quote]

I am laughing. They are not elite at all - definitely mostly from the South, Florida, Texas, midwestern states. Not many from old money or Northeast or New England circles. Definitely Southern/Midwestern. By the way it is very easy to cheaply get the preppy look. You must not be looking at very many high caliber schools as the most sought after and prestigious schools do not have much of this crowd except Beauvoir, NCS, STA has some. Other top schools like Sidwell, Maret, GDS do not have much of this crowd. [/quote]
