I think you're right. A lot of my daughter's friends at UGA wore their homecoming dresses from senior year for pref, since our HS girls tend to wear a cocktail style dress for homecoming rather than a long gown. Some of the girls in those pictures were wearing tank tops and skirts.

I didn't think that was pref either, because my daughter told me she decided to wear pale pink, because most girls were in black and pearls. My independent sole.

Alpha Gamma Delta has 61 new members :)

I called the greek life office and found out the final quota for UGA was 54 for undergrads and 6 for upperclassmen.

You mean in real life? Because UGA doesn't tend to post them at Greek Life on the web.

Great! Thank you!

Okay i go to a non competitive school. Whats with the 54 undergrads and 6 upperclassmen? They have to take jrs. and srs?

Sorry but I have to brag! My daughter just found out she's a Phi Mu!!!! She got her first choice and I'm SO happy for her!!!!

Yay! It's good to read the stories that end happily.

I guess they don't really "have to" but it's a way to take anyone who isn't a freshman without losing a freshman spot in quota. You get 54 frosh and six non-frosh.

It makes it easier for non-freshman to get bids. It was hard at UGA, and this is new this year.

OHhh KSUViolet how i love you and your knowledge. So is official quota 54 or 62?

Any other results?

How did the upperclass quota work out? I wouldn't be surprised if it was hard for all the groups to make. How did they handle releases? Were they part of the same pool as the freshman?

How does everyone know all this stuff?!!!

There are some advisers who post, and some people in the know in their organizations.

Others just learn stuff by reading it here.

If there weren't, wouldn't the quota be lower?

I'd think so since panhellenic must have used something to set the quota. But if they weren't doing releases with the difference in mind, the upperclasswomen might have concentrated at the same chapters.

I'm just curious because it seems like it might be a hard thing to get right the first time.

And although in years past, an upperclass PNM'S options were limited at some chapters at UGA, other chapters took some every year, so it's conceivable that they were all placed fine or that previous returns wouldn't have meant much at all. Remember the one year UGA released the bid lists? There were quite a few non-freshman on it, but some chapters didn't have any.

Yes.........

Some results from our little Georgia corner of the world: 3 new Chi Omegas (2 were Chi O legacies, one was a DZ legacy), 2 Phi Mus (one a legacy), 1 Zeta Tau Alpha. Lately, from our hometown, most girls have been going Zeta, so this is a little different this year. I am actually thrilled about the Chi O new members; it's been a long time since we've had any from Georgia. Same for ADPi (sigh). (But we did get some at new ADPis at Auburn this year).

Yay for Phi Mu!!! Tell her that a Penn State Phi Mu says, "Welcome Home!"

I heard that Gamma Phi Beta took 57 new members, including the daughter of a charter member of the chapter!:p:D

I wrote a ton of recs and only know about two of them so far - one went
AlphaGam and one went PiPhi.

Did NOT need to read the "Sex Secrets of Your Sign" article. uggggggggggg.

What?

Yay! A Macon Magnolia!

Congrats to your daughter!

LOL. I thought this was the "what do you feel like saying right now" thread. I was wondering where my post went. I'm going to keep it here just because it's silly. :p

I love that it's a dawg's eye view. That's a nice touch.

At Alabama the "official" quota reported by Panhellenic to I/natls is the Freshmen quota. Upperclassmen are treated for reporting purposes only as quota additions. So for example if a Chapter missed Freshmen quota by 2, but made Upperclassmen quota of 5, then from an I/natl point of view a Chapter made quota +3. On a campus that had been historically biased against Upperclassmen, this is a big incentive to accept the new system and members.

The Bikini T-shirts are a little creepy for Bid Day attire.

What is up with those? Are they a Chapter's Bid Day shirts for new members?

Do you mean the tank tops? I think they're just too big and the shorts are a tad short. Who is using the ladybugs??

phi mu is probably the ladybugs. if you look at the photos on the first page, there are girls wearing those tacky beach coverup big t-shirts that have illustrations on them that look like a torso wearing a bikini.

Wow. I would be embarrassed to wear that as a nightgown let alone on Bid Day. Are they serious???

i am hoping that it was the sorority members wearing them and they weren't the commemorative bid day shirt for the new members.

The photographers that UGA sororities use for their events have a "crazy picture" contest amongst all the sororities. They take photos of each pledge class, new member class, and the sorority as a whole, and for each group they do a formal pose and a crazy pose. My guess is that was one pledge class from SDT's idea for their crazy picture.

I just found out that I was incorrect on some of the sororities that girls from our area pledged. Here's the correct info (in case anyone really cares!):

Chi Omega, 2
Phi Mu, 1
Zeta, 1
Sigma Kappa, 1
ALPHA DELTA PI, 1 (Finally!!)

And, BTW, I think this is the shortest UGA Recruitment thread we've had in years!

Does anyone know how DG did? Here's hoping they made quota plus.

That's Phi Mu. You could tell by the house in the background and they have on the website that the "ladybug" is their mascot. Many Phi Mu chapters use the "ladybug" as their chapter mascot when there isn't an ASA chapter on campus.
