OMG, the Hairstyles!
OMG, the Clothes!

Thanks, Dee. You just put a huge smile on my face and gave me ammunition to say, "see, we weren't the only ones that looked like that"

Same beautiful smile

Aww, thanks That was the year the TKEs were calling me Adrienne.. saying I looked like Adrienne Barbeau. I was kind of shocked when I first found these pics because, in all honesty, at that age, I thought I was massively obese. I look at these pics now and think "If only I looked like THAT again..." lol.

were you running around braless? LOL My roommate got called Tiffany because she did look exactly like her, but she didn't consider it a compliment.

I went thru a thing junior year of making my hair straight (I think I was in between perms and broke) and everyone was making fun of me saying I looked like the 1970s composites.

Haha! Nope, I always wore a bra. I was pretty self conscious about that! I think I went braless one halloween when I was dressed in flashdance attire (the sweatshirt cut up so it fell off one shoulder) and I was totally paranoid about it all night!

It is interesting to look at these pictures from the 80's and then look at the pictures of current Greek women. If women had gone through rush in the late 80's with pencil straight hair, it would have been perceived as laziness. Almost no one wore their hair straight. Even the women with long hair would have put some wave in it or used hair accessories.

And twenty years from now all the current collegians will look back at their pictures and people will say "The hairstyles! The clothes!" LOL!

Really enjoying this thread!

Except most women with pencil straight hair these days work hard to get it that way!

You know how many flat irons I go through and how much I pay for relaxers?

In the early 80s, we were still living through the "feathered" bangs and "Farrah Flip" of the 70s. At least Poodle-Perms quickly went out the window. We had one girl in our chapter that wore what we called "sausage rolls" for bangs. And boy, did she douse it with Hairspray.

I'm sure it was well worth it.

We had a sister who won a Farrah Fawcett Look-a-Like contest!

This thread makes me want to go to college when my grandma did. She was a Pi Beta Phi, c/o 1946 at Duke And all of her pictures of her and her friends are gorgeous. Everyone just looked so much more sophisticated back then!
