University of Kentucky Recruitment

[sydney bristow]

Hello! I am a long time lurker and an active sorority member at UK. This is just to let everyone know (because I bet there are some lurking UK PNM's on here, or at least there will be and they'll hopefully have mastered the search function by then) that you can now register for recruitment!

The dates are August 14th-20th and here is the link: http://ukpanhellenic.com/page.php?page_id=17744

The video and packet are old but most of the information still applies with the exception that Sigma Kappa has closed and Alpha Phi will be participating in full on formal recruitment this year, as they recently got their charter!

Sign up and you can PM me if you have any questions about UK!

Also, I have been keeping up with the "incorrect advice" thread...but I promise my advice is good as I am currently an active UK sorority member

Get recs if you can. They can only help. This isn't Ole Miss or Alabama but it is still competitive especially if you aren't from the typical Louisville, Lexington, Cincinnati area schools.

Also, start looking for your white bid day dress NOW!!! They will only be harder to find come summer especially if you live in the aforementioned areas.

GO CATS!

Are there any specifics on it - like no strapless?

1. White. Not off white, not cream, but white. I always thought it a lovely tradition and wished my school did the same.

2. OP, I LOVE your user name.

3. GO BIG BLUE!!!!

Seriously, didn't even think to mention that but WHITE WHITE is the only option there. There's nothing like hundreds of girls in their white dresses running to their houses with their bids in hand on a (usually) blisteringly hot day in August

I love my user name too, I wish I could be as awesome as my favorite fictional character.

Oh yeah. GO CATS.

I don't know about Sydney Bristow, but Jennifer Garner (a graduate of my older son's high school) was a Pi Beta Phi at Denison ... just sayin'.

As an obsessive Alias fan, sorry to disappoint, but Sydney was not in a sorority. She was too busy ass-kicking in SD-6 and the CIA.

I believe MUSK81 means the actress Jennifer Garner - who played the character Sydney Bristow - is a Pi Phi.

Yes I realize that! Sarcasm never goes over so well on the internet, I guess. I meant that I knew the actress was a Pi Phi in real life but the fictional character wasn't...but then again jokes are never that funny when they have to be explained. Oh well...go cats?

Mea Culpa. I just re-read both posts and somehow ignored this part.

I don't know about Sydney Bristow,...

Now I "get" that you were referring to the character. And for what it is worth, at least I did get the sarcasm.

1. That was a load of fun. Their excitement was so cool.
2. The fraternity men lining the walkway was really nice. They also looked excited and happy.
3. Some really cute white dresses.
4. Based on the comments in the video: After it's all said and done, I hope they are able to marvel over their sisterhoods beyond the college campus experience and beyond having "a lot of fun."

Bid day is like a holiday for fraternity members...they set up lawn chairs and everything.
