Major Faux Pas

So, I had the honor of being invited to one of the many schmoozey recruiting events on campus by a very prestigous firm. I took an excerpt from their email so as to protect the innocent. It begins:

>>SAVE THE DATE

>>As the last days of summer draw near, I want to be the first to welcome you to your final year at Kellogg.


Kellog? Oops. This was followed several minutes later by a:

>>Please disregard the previous Save the Date
>>SAVE THE DATE

>>As the last days of summer draw near, I want to be the first to welcome you to your final year at GSB.

I was contemplating a reply telling them that I was honored to be invited by [rival firm name], but decided that discretion was the better part of valor.
