I live in a very warm, American climate. Girls wear athletic shorts that have less fabric than most underwear, along with push up bras and tight tank tops. The ugly ones wear Vans or Converse sneakers, some sort of ill-fitting shirt from Hot Topic or 7BuckTees, and pajama pants or too-small, transparent tights.  I have no idea how they expect to professionally network outside of arranged events - none of my connections have been made through forced socializing, it's all been off the cuff when walking to class or sitting next to each other somewhere. I don't even have that great of a GPA, nor am I perfectly physically abled, and yet still I'm getting more job offers and recommendations than the peers (who I talk to, at least).
