UGA Recruitment Winds Down - Page 12

I remember my husband observing that when our older daughter went to her first high school dance, he learned the definition for "semi-formal" had changed... the girls dressed up and the guys didn't, making it SEMI-formal. It is nice to see the guys who go to the trouble to put on a button-down and khakis from time to time, but they certainly can also look like roadkill. Oh, and I don't think it's hazing... more like, "Hey, Dude, what if we...?" "Yeah, Dude, that sounds awesome!" And I do believe it is fueled by a bit more than Red Bull.

It would have to be.

Is anyone besides me upset that UGA won't post the pledge list besides me? Alabama and Auburn post their list. I think last year was the first year UGA posted the list. Yes, eventually you can found out where each girl pledged by going to each sorority web site,but that is several weeks or months from now.

Protecting the privacy of the newest members is never a bad thing.

This disservice to some of you isn't really worth getting upset over.

Figures you'd react that way, given your past history of stalking GC PNMs who never bothered to post updates.

Go on with yo' bad self.

Perhaps they are going to post a list and have not yet - it seems to me last year that it took a few days.

In deference to OTW's admonishment, "upset" may be too strong a word...more like "frustrated" or "annoyed" is how I feel. For pete's sake - the list was posted last year; other schools post their lists; names will soon be on chapter websites and don't forget about facebook, etc.

When a bid day list is on the the panhellenic or news website, it makes it very easy to get to. With facebook and different sororities websites it makes it alot harder to get the information. The other reason why UGA might of posted a list last year and not this year is the sad death of two college women from Georgia this year. To be completely honest for the girls safety I am glad they did not post the list

I was going to say, maybe there are reasons unique to the area that they're concerned about stalkers and the safety of the girls.

Re the guys, they don't look "slobby" to me - just really, really, really young.

And some of those girls need to step away from the tanning bed. You should not be 19 and have lines around your eyes.

Southernbell 196 you mentioned the death of 2 UGA college girls last year. Were these girls in sororities? I don't recall hearing about it. Were they caused because their names were posted on the list??

Well actually, I Googled and found a picture of the killer with the bid list in his hand.

Honestly, if they are taking precautions because of what southernbell196 mentioned and you're still irked because YOU don't have access to the bid list, you need to rethink your priorities.
