Recruitment at UGA

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.

LMAO at this quote, I really think that every PNM who dropped and is planning on re-rushing and acts like this should be told this!

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