Having lived in Atlanta throughout the "Freaknik" era of the 90's, I couldn't help but chuckle when she said that.

Hey, if anybody has seen any bid lists, can you pm me? One of my husband's former students rushed (she moved out of town a few years ago) and we're trying to find out where she pledged.

I think a lot of groups do it, not just UGA chapters. If you have a formal ceremony on that day, it might be the traditional ritual dress.

Everyone on our campus does it, too! I think it looks very pretty... though trying to dig up a white dress in January can be a challenge.

tradition for New Members to wear white dresses at UGA. And there's no way to run to the houses the way the campus is set up. I personally would consider that hazing.

Hazing-- you mean the distance from the student center or the fact they would have to run by all the fraternity houses?

I was mainly thinking distance, steep inclines, and traffic, but yes, there is certainly a bevy of frat guys one would have to pass, too!
