I guess I lied when I said I didn't know anybody going through rush at UGA. The first picture I clicked on I saw a girl from church (she went to private school, so I forgot about her, I guess).

But from the looks of the photo (crown name tags), she pledged Zeta, which was her legacy chapter.

Gorgeous photos and just the beginning of the fun and excitement of college. :)

did I miss this? Did all the sororities at UGA make quota?

No, I've heard of one so far that was under quota. I don't have all the numbers though.

there were quite a few that i've heard didn't make quota. most of them were only a few girls away, though.

Looking through those makes you realize how little it means for a girl rushing at UGA in 2008 to be described as pretty. I got tired of clicking on new pictures before I saw a girl who was anything less than stunning.

The guys on the other hand... :p

I had the exact same thought. Not attractive at all...many looked like they stepped out of the 80s. Are those "top tier" guys? It seems to look like that in every video or photo I see of the southern chapters - gorgeous, polished girls and slobby guys.

Yep. Doesn't some of what they are wearing just kind of say, "I'm being hazed"?

And does anyone know what Kappa's theme was?

Peppy, at some of the SEC schools, the ratio is about 60% female overall and the Greek system is tipped toward girls way outnumbering guys. Maybe the guys figure they can let themselves go.

"We're in a League of Our Own"

All the active sisters were wearing baseball/softball/sporty looking outfits.

I remember my husband observing that when our older daughter went to her first high school dance, he learned the definition for "semi-formal" had changed... the girls dressed up and the guys didn't, making it SEMI-formal. It is nice to see the guys who go to the trouble to put on a button-down and khakis from time to time, but they certainly can also look like roadkill. Oh, and I don't think it's hazing... more like, "Hey, Dude, what if we...?" "Yeah, Dude, that sounds awesome!" And I do believe it is fueled by a bit more than Red Bull. :)

It took me a long time to realize that the girls wearing jerseys were participating in bid day as opposed whatever the Red Bull chicks were doing, and then once I did, it took at long time to figure out which group they were.

Cool to break with tradition once in a while and it looked like they had a great time.

It would have to be. :)

My school was 60% women, too...actually, that's a trend at many/most universities now.

Yeah. But I guess your guys worked harder. ;)

ETA: I'm just curious: it is also true that a higher percentage of girls than guys are Greek on most campuses? It's really significant at some of the SEC schools because a higher percentage of women are Greek and then there's a larger number of women to start with. I think it may contribute to fraternity guys having a lot more social opportunities that the women do.

Interestingly, I was reading an article about how campus culture really changes when it gets too much further away from 50%. It was one of those things when you don't have time to read the whole thing and then you don't find it again. Did anyone else read it? It was sort of a warning to parents.

I thought this was so cute! It was kind of refreshing, after all those perfect looking girls in sundresses, to see the Kappas decked out in those hilarious outfits! But then again I'm a little biased...;)
