Cordettes was the name used to refer to the clique that Cordelia Chase led while in high school; it was formed by the wealthiest and most popular girls in Sunnydale High, determining who and what was popular. Angel once compared them to the KGB, if the aforementioned organization had cared a lot about shoes. For example, when Buffy Summers arrives on Sunnydale, Cordelia makes her take the test to order to be integrated into the group. However, Buffy is quickly ejected when she speaks with Willow Rosenberg and Alexander Harris (who were the main scapegoats of the Cordettes) and especially thought to have "attacked" Cordelia with a stake in the Bronze.
