‘No Frumpy’: Cornell’s Pi Phi Forbids ‘Gross, Plastic Shizzz’

This morning, I was forwarded six pages worth of dress code requirements for Pi Phi’s Cornell chapter.

On Clothes
– Denim leggings are appropriate as long as it’s done right: aka, not from American Apparel and worn with chic, cool, chunky boots over them and a longer top.
– No satin dresses. No one looks good in satin dresses unless it’s from Betsey Johnson or Dolce & Gabbana, you weigh less than 130 pounds, have three pairs of Spanx on and it’s New Years Eve.
– No Frumpy.
