Those girls do NOT look like they're 18... and I bet I know what "small, private high school" Amanda Duval went to - if she's who I think she is and her mother works at the high school. :)

ETA: Yikes! If my child ever said that, I might have to set her priorities straight.

What is that monstrosity of a fluffy handbag the one on the right in the polka dots is carrying?

And, no, they don't look 18.

Love the dress, but she should be shot for even considering buying that bag.

1st thing: There's a town in GA named "Social Circle"???:eek:

2nd: I agree the picture doesn't do these young ladies justice....

Trust me, those girls did not look like they were 18. I had to see them when I was helping out my chapter and I was like holy monkey balls, these girls look way older than their real age! This was the biggest group Georgia has faced (1300 girls). I have to admit, all the girls were basically the same..I was like wow..unbelievable. But, instead of the rude snotty ones, they are pretty much nice.

Were they wearing too much makeup? It's hard to tell from the picture.

As crazy as it may seem, I didn't think they were wearing alot of makeup. It was so freakin hot. It's just crazy to see that the new generation is looking older i guess.

Ohhh yes there is! :)

Oh my gosh! I know one of the girls in the pic! And, yes, girls do look much older nowadays! Haven't quite figured out why though.

I've always found that kids who went to private schools generally tend to look older than ones to went to public schools. Never figured out why though.

At least that's not as bad as Bumpass, VA which used to send my kids in fits of giggles when we saw the road sign. It happens to be near Big Butte Mtn.

Yes, and my father's side of the family is from there. It's a great little town. :)

Yes, and there is a town in NY (Long Island) called Hicksville where these girls are not from!

Maybe they go to the tanning beds too much. But that is a whole another debate :)

the 80s
 

Its funny that this topic was raised. This week at work I've been looking at alot of the old pictures and composites from the 60s and 80s and I kept thinking about how much older they looked than the women attending college today....it could be all of that big hair and hairspray of the 60s and 80s.

I checked the girl out on facebook and she pledged Phi Mu. I mean, thank God she got picked or she would have been a total orphan, right? :rolleyes:

OH WOW! I hadn't thought about Facebook. She's exactly who I thought she was! Y'all, is it horrible that she was eight (or maybe nine) years old when I graduated from high school? LOL!

I grew up in Monroe!!! About 8 miles from Social Circle!!!

http://www.socialcirclega.com/default.htm
Social Circle is a small town located about 50 miles east of Atlanta. Population is approx. 4000 and rapidly growing due to the urban sprawl. We are a community proud of its history and are actively seeking ways to maintain our small town atmosphere and accommodate the growth.

Of course, I also lived about 6 miles from Between, Georgia. :)

Where did you go to high school? (Between...*giggle*)

I looked at my composite tonight. I looked like a 12 year old compared to these girls. If they look older NOW, what about in twenty years. We may be better looking that them, when we're 60ish to their 40s.

When I was 12 I looked like a 20 year old! :D

Here's another UGA rush article from the Red and Black!

Sororities bid for the perfect pledges

Yes. Which is why we don't look older when we get older, cause we always looked like that :p

Monroe Area Comphrensive High School
Go Canes!!
(We were the 1st class to go 4 years as MACHS..but they dropped the "C" on the new high school.)

(I can't remember if Between even has a stop light, lol. BTW, there's a new book out called "Between, Georgia" by Josilyn Jackson. It's fiction. She came up with the name because she used to go to UGA and she liked the name.)

Okay...back to Athens;)
