What a beautiful group of young ladies!!! Thanks for sharing!

Is it just me, or do all of these girls look exactly the same??? ALL pretty, thin, wearing a similar dress. It's no wonder some girls fall through the cracks. Does anyone know what the green ribbon on the nametags mean?

I don't know, I saw lots of dress variety and there were definitely a few girls pictured that weren't thin. The only thing I thought was really homogenous was the hair style, but that's just college.

Ugly Blue Wal-Marty Rho Chi Vests = "No Frills"

LOL

It's amazing to me how none of these women seem to sweat! I'm sure it's hot in GA, have all these women had their sweat glands surgically removed or something?!? I would never have been able to look so polished (thank goodness I didn't go to school where it's a 90-some degrees during rush)!

Vests in Athens = Torture. I know - I live here!

I feel for the recruitment counsellors. Saturday was something like our eighth day in a row of over 100 degrees, and Sunday it only got up to about 95, but it was more humid.

Last night I saw a few girls wandering around downtown with ugly blue panhellenic recruitment t-shirts on. Were those rho chis too, or were those girls wearing the "official" recruitment tees?

MaggieXi · #8 08-13-2007, 02:57 PM

Well at least it seems like the Rho Chis are dealing with the funny blue vests. Granted it was colder in our deferred recruitment, but our Rho Chis have bright orange wind breakers on. The blue vests are a little much!!!!

And I saw some def. recruitment fashion dos and don'ts in the pics!!!! But an awful lot of girls were wearing flip flops!

They do look a lot alike - but there were some cute dresses in there!

I have a question that maybe someone can clear up - I noticed a lot of flip-flops in the pictures, yet I have been told that heels are standard at a lot of SEC schools, such as Ole Miss. Is UGA stepping outside of the box on this one?

Southern ladies do not sweat. They glow.

FSUZeta · #11 08-13-2007, 03:59 PM

thank you tsteven. i was about to pass that pearl of wisdom on to our non-southern panhellenic sisters.

the blue vest are awful and add an unneeded extra layer in the heat, but do have very helpful pockets - they have been at uga rush forever!

With the chapter I advise, it'd be the opposite - they're really moving closer to no-frills and the example we were told to help us is that we can't have girls all wearing black pants - to go for a variety of lengths (cropped, long, etc.)

i'll bet a lot of those girls just wear the flip flops between houses and slip into their dressier shoes before the party begins.

Actually, probably not. Rainbow flip flops are HUGE at UGA and considered "dressy" flip flops. Round 1 is probably the most "casual"(if you can call it that) of the rounds and since they walk so much, the girls probably wore the flip flops. Heels come out more in skit and, for sure, pref round.

And I am SO excited there are so many UGA threads!! I hate being out of the loop on all the rush talk...

The blue vests have been around a long time and they are kind of a tradition, I guess. I think it might be trying to send a message that these are people who are there to help you and support you, not glam it up or make you feel intimidated by their hotness.

Look at those PNMs and look up the UGA admissions standards these days. Know that almost all of them have extensive activities and good conversational skills. They will all seem eager to be at your party. Now, ask yourself how you would decide who to keep and who to release.

(Academically UGA wasn't as selective when I went there, and I really don't remember everyone going through rush being as universally pretty, so I'm not trying to retro-actively flatter myself, I promise.)
