No, then you'd just be annoying as hell.

And that would make me unique on this forum;):cool::rolleyes:

Yeah...actually it's 4 now that one of them is closing...and I mean. Could you be any more offensive if you possibly tried?

So, why should she be?

She is looking and asking!:rolleyes:

Maybe she is messing up, and I am sure you will be more than willing to help!:D

Well, she's only offending a few of us. (and I'm not offended as much as amused.)

It's interesting, Ugablonde must not be Jewish, because she wrote off both traditionally Jewish groups on campus, and then she wrote off DG and AGD, both of which have tended to be smaller groups.

But what do you suppose she has against Chi Omega?

(Even being someone who will acknowledge that there are tiers, I find UGAblonde's list strange. Things must have changed a lot, which I think would actually be good. I was under the impression that reputation rankings were almost beyond the control of the groups, but apparently, not so. Maybe it's the HOPE pulling in all the metro Atlanta kids because she's got some of the traditionally strongest most southern chapters thrown in almost as afterthoughts.)

How many of those groups take sophomores, UGAblonde?

ETA: I keep snorting and laughing at the construction that "Theta is pretty good too." Theta at UGA has long been amazing. I'm not slighting anyone, but it's really funny as someone who went there in the 90s to read somebody throw Theta out as "pretty good" and leave Chi Omega off the list.

You know, I didn't list which groups for a reason...

ETA:
minDyG I'm going to assume you knew I was sarcastic and you were referring to UGAblonde... I hope!

Oh, I think it says so much more about her than it does about the groups.

ETA: anyone who wanted to could figure out who was missing, but if you really think I should, I'll delete.

Really, I think we're better off not listing and ranking generally here, but her list is funny, and if her list stands, it seems that commentary on it is fine.

Do whatever you like, I'm just trying to be courteous. I can't make her take her list down either way so whatever tickles your pickle.

As an alumna of one of the chapters too bad to mention, I don't think leaving them unlisted does any particular good. (Don't you think anyone reading the thread is going to figure it out?) And her list might actually be beneficial as it kind of mixes stuff up a little, as far as I know.

It's a ranking made by a PNM who went through rush last year and dropped out who plans to go through again. I think people can take it for what it's worth.

OP: In college, I knew members of most of the chapters on campus, save only a couple of chapters. They were all happy in their groups, some for different reasons than others. In that respect, I truly believe that every group at UGA is good for the girls for whom it is what they choose. In terms of size, the range of membership is from about 100 to about 200 members, so even the "small" groups are pretty big. I know from girls who have rushed more recently that some of the groups are very different from when I went there, so keep in mind that the reputations you hear could be 5 years old (I heard recently that a chapter I knew to be a party chapter is now a good-girl chapter, so that's an example of a change in rep over time).

In my recruitment, I was plagued by girls telling me that certain houses were "popular." They encouraged me to focus on certain houses because of reputation even though I was attracted to houses that they considered to be "beneath them" (a couple of which, by the way, were on ugablonde's lovely list... everyone's idea of rep is different). It can be hard to think about what's best for you when everyone's talking about this rep and that rep, but it's important to choose the right house for YOU, not the right house for the other chicks on your hall.

One thing to think about: often what houses are good is based on where you're from. For instance, girls from my high school typically pledged one of three houses, so we always heard that those were "good" because that was what we heard around high school. I know you'll see this a lot around GC, but reputations at UGA really differ based on who you are talking to and you need to keep an open mind.

DGDramaDawg, as usual, you are correct.

It's been a long time since I was at UGA, so what do I know?

well now i'll just have to cut every blonde sophomore BETCH that comes in my house. and tell my friends in the "good" houses to do the same...



alright i'm only kidding, but who does she think she is? doesn't she realize that we're the ones who've got what she wants?

and I'm pretty sure that a quality every house at UGA looks for is tact.

I think we're all reading more in to it than UGABlonde probably intended. She was trying to say nice stuff about the majority of chapters. Let's be generous and hope that she gets a group that she wants when she goes back through.

To the OP and anyone else rushing at UGA, go through, try to keep an open mind, and rank the chapters you like after prefs. Beyond that, the more you rule out first, the more likely you'll end up dropping out or feeling weird about your results even though the groups you have left are great (which if I remember correctly is what happened to UGAblonde the first time she went through. She recognizes now that some of the chapters she had when she dropped last year are great groups.)
