UGA Recruitment '07 Photo Gallery!

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.)

Thanks for posting the pics. Looks like red is the color of choice this year -- makes sense for UGA I guess.

The competition really is fierce. There is an article posted on UGA site today that says this is the..."most academically talented freshman class in its history"
Plus, something like over 90% of the freshmen are on the HOPE - Georgia's state scholarship program and that is with the current changes that were just made to the program that made it even harder to attain.

I agree... They all look very nice, but I've never seen such a large group of women with straight, shoulder length or longer hair, ALL wearing various Sun dresses IN MY LIFE.

I completely agree. They're indistinguishable to me, and seriously, do NONE of the girls rushing at UGA have medium/short hair? I'd stick out like a sore thumb!

Hehe I have the same hairstyle and I am not in the south! Call me shallow but I was checking out the cuteness of all of the sundresses. Up north there isn't as much of a selection as I imagine in the sunny south. I actually saw a pink Lily Pulitzer dress at a shop while at Cape Cod last week and thought, this is a perfect rush dress!
shallow, shallow me!

However, 15 years ago, I would not have dreamt of spending $250+ on a sundress!
