[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... There are a lot of Duke grads in the DC area. I know 6-7 very well and while they are pretty nice, they are all kind of annoying too... Most of them also have their kids doing Cotillion now and say it is critical for life success...[/quote]
That's so funny. When my kids act up I sometimes threaten them with Cotillion. Maybe when they get older I'll threaten them with Duke! (My own experience with Duke grads is that most of the guys are okay, if a little douchy, but the women are SO fake.)[/quote]
"Real" Duke grad woman here, know of zero Duke women in DC who have ever mentioned having their kids do Cotillion (not that there's anything wrong with that *hands up*). Actually Duke's Women's Forum alumni event series is delightful and thoughtful so I've had the opportunity to meet lots of DC Duke women of different ages. Duke, like all elite and insanely expensive schools, attracts an unpleasant element of cloistered rich families working hard to stay rich and stay cloistered. It also attracts some completely amazing students who go on to do incredible things and be fantastic people. TBH I have a complicated relationship with the University and its reputation but what's being said here is beyond hyperbolic, it is completely made up. [/quote]
