[B]Did SDT lose their house at UGA too? I noticed they are not on the Greek Life website anymore.

I don't think so, they have a pretty active chapter at UGA and usually kept a full house.

I keep trying to go to the general Greek Life page at UGA and cannot - I would guess the whole Greek site is down. SDT's chapter website is still linked through UGA.

SDT might have a slight advantage. I know when I rushed I was concerned about $$ and having to live in the house. No offense to anyone, but sharing a bathroom with that many girls scares me to death (I have bathroom issues)

Some girls that might not go greek might consider a less expensive sorority and older girls might enjoy not having to give up their apartments

I tried the site too but I think it's not working right and the info I did find seemed out of date.

The website for UGA Panhellenic is down.. However, there is information available at the following websites:

UGA Sororities

Greek Academics

UGA IFC

UGA NPHC

Also, most of the NPC Sororites have websites

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Omicron Pi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Phi Epsilon
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Phi Mu
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Delta Tau
Sigma Kappa
Zeta Tau Alpha

Ran across this during a search...
 

Does anybody have news/update regarding the original post?

well here's the new dress code, but the cynic in me doesn't think it will work, LOL.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Good for them for trying, though.

Trying to give advice to my little sister
 

How weird! They're not supposed to wear black to Pref Night? I thought everyone did that.

Also, I am confused now... my sister is graduating from high school and attending Alabama in the fall (my SDT reply was just myself being curious.. or nosy :p sorry girls), and she will be going through recruitment.

Any Alabamians out there with advice as to what I should tell her to wear? Has the new dress code been stressed within your chapters? I don't mean to sound rude, but in general, do you think there will be extra cutting (due to attire) towards girls who underdress according to the new guidelines, or towards the opposite? (I go to a small school, so recruitment is very different.)

PS - Should she contact a local Panhellenic Alumnae Association to ask them to write recommendations for her? She has two aunts who are members of NPCs that are at Alabama who can write to those, but for the others, is that the right way to go?

Sorry to sound like such a newby... recruitment is a whole different process at a big school like Alabama!

Thanks, and lots of love!

Re: Trying to give advice to my little sister
 

Recs never hurt. If your area has a local APA then she should register with them by all means. Many APAs hold information sessions at this time of year. Some are already over but it doesn't hurt to check it out. Good luck to your sister!

AOII at UGA Website, the other one in a posting earlier was not correct.

Do I think that the dress code will be adopted by all the PNMs? No, not by most. Do I wish it would be? Yes.

I'm glad they're trying to get rid of all the black at pref parties-- lately, PNMs have looked like "a clump of crows", to quote Gone With the Wind. I'd much rather see happy colors.

Sorry, I fixed the link. Please remember the posting is eleven months old, it worked at the time.

Thanks, ladies! :)

I agree with Carnation......
I think maybe they are doing this to tell the PNMs that black is what is usually worn, but any color is acceptable. Black dress is not required, but everyone thinks of black for more formal attire. It's always easier to remember a PNM who 'stands out' in her bright red dress or whatever, as opposed to those many women wearing black. Neither is necessarily a help or a hindrance......
