i am hoping that it was the sorority members wearing them and they weren't the commemorative bid day shirt for the new members.

The photographers that UGA sororities use for their events have a "crazy picture" contest amongst all the sororities. They take photos of each pledge class, new member class, and the sorority as a whole, and for each group they do a formal pose and a crazy pose. My guess is that was one pledge class from SDT's idea for their crazy picture.

I just found out that I was incorrect on some of the sororities that girls from our area pledged. Here's the correct info (in case anyone really cares!):

Chi Omega, 2
Phi Mu, 1
Zeta, 1
Sigma Kappa, 1
ALPHA DELTA PI, 1 (Finally!!)

And, BTW, I think this is the shortest UGA Recruitment thread we've had in years!

Does anyone know how DG did? Here's hoping they made quota plus.

That's Phi Mu. You could tell by the house in the background and they have on the website that the "ladybug" is their mascot. Many Phi Mu chapters use the "ladybug" as their chapter mascot when there isn't an ASA chapter on campus.

The silly shirts are almost definitely not the actual bid day shirts for the new girls. I think a couple of chapters have decided to have informal theme parties instead of more traditional SEC bid day kind of things.

It's the second year in a row that Kappa did something kind of different, I think. I'm only going by photos; I wasn't there. But remember the sports jerseys from last years photos? Weren't those Kappa as well?

Whatever makes them happy. Having a sense of humor and enjoying some levity seem great to me, but I prefer the more elegant themes myself.

I actually liked the tank tops. The bikini-screenprint-on-tshirt things, not so much. If they were going for crazy though, they certainly succeeded.

Fun crazy, though, not crazy crazy.

Are results at Georgia just getting to be so good and predictable that no one cares about posting anymore? In previous years, I think alumnae were eager to find out results and post, but now, is the thrill gone?

I will note that as near as I can tell, a much greater percentage of the girls I know going through stuck it out this year and are happy with their bids. Some years, as many as 50% of the ones I was following dropped out.

That video is priceless for the part when the girl being interviewed explains Bid Night as being "kind of the Milledge Freaknik".

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.

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.
