UA recruitment! Greek Chic is live!

I get a kick out of reading this because it’s a 180 difference from anything I’ve experienced.

I can’t believe it’s almost time for recruitment again.

I'm VERY excited that it's almost time for recruitment again! I'm glad you posted this. It helps to see what the Alabama PNMs that we wrote recs for are headed into this year.

And hey-hey, shout out to our Alpha Gam Tina Van Steenbergen, the welcome/keynote on Convocation day! That's sure to be a great day for the PNMs. Exhausting with all those houses, but wonderful to meet so many friendly faces.

Thank you for this. Such an informative read! Our town has at least four Bama Bound students this Fall.

It's nostalgic to see each sorority's panhellenic delegate wearing her group's ACTUAL COLORS on her tshirt (page ten of link). There was a time when it was popular to wear greek letter shirts in any old mix of colors, such as one's school colors or the color you'd look best in, and not the true color(s) of your own sorority.

I do agree that open house/ice water teas/etc. is a good round to do remote. The PNM can lounge in her PJs watching videos and relaxing so she can prepare herself for the next round.

I also hope that the sisters on the other side can get used to in person first rounds. For the sophomores and juniors, it'll be their first time doing in person recruitment, but they'll hopefully manage well.

Wellll.....Gamma Phi Beta may have fudged it a bit. ;)

So glad to see rompers in one of the "Don't" wardrobe photos, lol. Good riddance to the garment that flatters no one!

Oh, they're far from gone. Saw a photo of a PM wearing a romper to pref.

Omigosh! I can't even!

2022!

Always excited for UA recruitment! 2,575 PNMs have signed up!

Arkansas is giving Alabama a run for its money - 2200 signed vs 2575

I have seen post initiation photos of new initiates in white rompers.

Currently in T TOwn . All the cute boutiques like the famous Pants Store has not only specific signage up with pictures of recruitment outfit ideas but also racks dedicated to each round.

Saw no photos of rompers. Stores like Dukes are where the statement pieces of clothing can be bought like Shug skirts and Patrizia Bonfanti shoes .

Well, thanks zetamae! Now I feel ancient-I had to look up shug skirts and Bonafanti shoes :-)
.

Don't feel bad I would have no idea either if I didn't have an active at Bama.

Shug skirt - short short double ruffled skirt - $299.00 (I could make one for $30)
Bonafanti shoes - thick lug sole shoes, sandals and boots. Priced around $125.00
Couple more designer shoes that are supposedly popular
Golden Goose sneakers - Star on the side of high tops, low tops plain white to sequins and metallics, $385.00 to $900.00
Vintage Havana sneakers - also decorated with a star but WAY more reasonably priced.

The Bonafanti shoes look very 70s!

And I thought I was so chic in my Bobbie Brooks, Ship-n-Shore, Villager, and Aigner and Pappagallo shoes. All which would not have totaled $900.

Aaaah! You wore exactly what I did!

Got to love those colorful wool clothes!
 

Ditto….my high school wardrobe in PA was mostly Villager, John Meyer of Norwich, Villager, and Bobbi Brooks. Sweaters, skirts, and (of course) the matching knee socks and Aigner, Bass, and Pappagallo shoes were popular. They were quite pricey, but high quality. I remember saving my money from my jobs at restaurants and the hospital cafeteria to buy a coveted outfit.

I get 90s flashbacks from them! Black boots with thick soles? And the sandals would definitely be something we would wear back then.

I'd take wearing flatforms and thick soled shoes walking to the houses over the high heels and wedges of the past!

And if you're reading this PNMs, please pack a pair of comfy shoes to walk in and swap them for your nice shoes when you get to the house.
