UGA Recruitment '07 Photo Gallery!

A few comments/questions:

1) What's the deal with the buttons on the Rho Chis' vests?

2) I know I'm old and all, but I'm seeing a fashion trend here that I'm not familiar with. Can someone tell me about the dresses these girls are wearing? Some of them look like tablecloths - not in a bad way because some of them are really cute - but I don't know how else to describe them.

3) I am so mad that these spoiled girls get tents. LOL! :P

4) At first I was at the flipflops until y'all explained what was going on.

5) Some of the girls HAVE to be burning up with their hair down like that! Dang!

I'm going through recruitment this year at UGA and have been a lurker here for ages...thought I'd make my first post.

1) The Recruitment Counselors decorate their blue vests any way they want to. If they glue anything on they have to pay to keep the vests, so a lot of them used buttons or stickers to show some personality.

2) Dresses are vital to living in Athens, and plus there has been a big increase in them in the fashion industry, so there have been all kinds of dresses. Some of which I don't quite understand and I've caught myself staring at the weirdness a few times..

3) The tents are lifesavers! Without them I'm sure they'd be a ton of cases of heat exhaustion and such..

4) Almost everyone wears flipflops for round 1, 2, and some for round 3. It's a pain in the butt to drag around a pair of heels, walk up and down sorority row, and deal with the pain.. I don't know what I'd do without the flip flops, besides get blister after blister.

5) Yep. But oh, the sacrifices we make for beauty...

So is this Hope scholarship available to all Georgia HS grads? regardless of the parent's income? do you have to have lived in the state for a certain period of time or have filed state tax returns there? and I take it that the amount does not cover living expenses (i.e. dorm room and board.)

my kids aren't quite old enough for college yet but it's looming on the horizon and sheez when we add up the numbers of what's its going to cost to get these kids through undergrad, my husband and I look at each other and thank God we both graduated with zero student loan debt. Then my husband thanks my mom for feeding him a lot of dinners at her house while he was a starving student!

I think I would have had panic attacks if I would have been expected to find money for school. With interest it adds up; and I went to cheap schools! Thank Daddy for ZERO debt!

I know its available regardless of household income. And its funded by the state lottery. So one out of state friend jokingly referred to it as reverse welfare.

Its like their Christmas!! I've seen numerous fender-benders too on Milledge on Bid Night. My favorite are the trucks with couches, lounge chairs, baby pools...they go all out. And of course, the streakers!

Cute pics...I kinda feel sorry for the girl picking at her underwear in front of the Zeta house. She obviously didn't realize there was a photographer behind her.

The Zeta house at UGA looks EXACTLY like the Zeta house at Alabama.

The cops were out in force last night along Milledge. The were pulling over carloads over sororty girls bringing back their new members as well as cars full of guys checking out the new girls.

What is amazing is they allow open pick-up trucks full of people to travel, but ticket SUV's for carrying too many passengers.

In the pictures you'll see the party bus. The party bus was full of guys traveling around looking at girls all night. The traffic was bumper to bumper on Milledge so they would be "parked" in front of the sorority houses with a close-up view from their bus. It was hilarious. they would circle by every few minutes.
