Jane is amazing and was able to get me 4 tickets to the Polka Dots Ball.
Societies have a lot of classifications: white or black, male or female, new or traditional. I learned that for this ball, which is a white female society, if you were to bring a member of a different race or sexual orientation that person would be asked to leave and the member that gave the ticket would be fined.
Here is some trusted information about the society from Wikipedia:
Today, many mystic societies operate under a business structure; membership is basically open to anyone who pays dues to have a place on a parade float. In contrast, the traditional mystic societies were social clubs with secret membership lists. Divulging one's membership in a society can be grounds for dismissal. Some of the newer mystic societies actively recruit prospective members. Some of the older societies have restricted membership, with waiting lists numbering in the hundreds; others restrict members to alumni of particular schools, or other conventions.
Order of Polka Dots (OOP), is a ladies' society and it is the oldest and largest of the Mobile.
