Rho Gams in vests look like Girl Scouts ;)

In the photos, some women appear to have their hands/arms intentionally positioned behind their back. To what purpose? Are these initiated sorority members, and when speaking during recruitment with PNMs is this their necessary action? If so, I never knew formal recruitment also takes place out-of-doors.

In the super ancient Iowa sorority documentary, I did see the actives with their arms behind their backs. Maybe it was instructed by their chapters to do that?

And the rho gamma vests are a super cute tradition at UGA. I love how they're customized!

How odd. You can restrain yourself from touching another person without having to hold your hands behind your back.

Yeah I get the touching rule, but we were instructed to just keep our arms by our sides and look natural. Even leading the PNMs in, you would just put an arm out and not directly touch them.

Do we have any updates on number of registered girls, estimated quota, etc.?

The PNM # hasn't been posted. Depending on the school, that info can be kept private while some schools will mention it.

Bid Day is this Sunday, Alpha Xi Delta's bid day is Aug 31.

The only number I've seen is from the campus newspaper the Red and Black. Their recent article said it was an estimated 2000 women going through rush.

I love the vests too!

I went to another SEC school where parents (mainly greek alums) that lived close enough came to bid day. I know it’s chaotic, so it’s mainly pictures from afar, but is that the case at UGA too? I don’t want to not go and miss out, but also don’t want us to be the only parents out there. Help :)

The bid day celebrations are the sisters and new members at the chapter houses. The new members are bussed to the chapter houses via campus busses. Parents are not a part of bid day celebrations.

There will be plenty of photos taken. There is usually a professional photographer or two working their way up and down the street, plus the actives will take plenty of photos, as will The Red and Black.

I plan on attending Alpha Xi's bid day. Can't wait! :D

Attended bid day/pledging. It was amazing! From what I understand, 124 new members. They will still do COB and chapter installation will be early next year. Not all new members could attend due to class, work, or other commitments. They are only wanting women who are serious about membership and good students. They did not participate in formal for a reason though next fall they will. They are also looking for a house on S Milledge.

That's great! Good luck to the new members of Alpha Xi as they start this new chapter!

CONGRATS to Alpha Xi at Georgia! With all the college consolidations and chapter closings, it’s WONDERFUL to see a new group succeed at a flagship institution.

Congratulations to Alpha Xi!

There's a property they are looking at on S Milledge (it's a dilapidated house so they'd have to raze it and rebuild), but the owner refuses to sell. I don't get it. No one lives there and it's just an eyesore, but the lot is great.

A great vid of bid day:

What's the house they were using for bid day?

That's a wedding venue on Milledge Avenue between two fraternities, across the street from Phi Mu.

They look like lovely young women. Best of luck!

Congratulations AXiD on your new chapter!

The tudor style house with boards covering the windows?:D

Yes! :D:D:D:D
