Sometimes, girls get all made up and don't feel like drinking because they don't want to accidentally spill something, or mess up their lipstick or something (my teenaged cousins are so guilty of this at their cheer/dance competitions).

You look cute, but you won't feel cute nor look it when you get hauled off on a stretcher after you pass out.

And you don't want to be known as the girl who passed out!

Regarding recruitment photographers: I don't think the actual practice is as bad/intense as what you all may be thinking. Remember the UGA recruitment photos that were linked a few years ago? The student paper went around a took photos outside the houses of the PNMs, mainly before or after rounds when the girls were going back out at the end of the party.

I don't think anyone has photographers actually in the parties; I think it probably violates recruitment rules about who is permitted at parties if you randomly have someone walking around talking professional pictures.

Carnation, were your photos from inside the parties?

As far as mixers and such, it was very much the school culture at UGA back in the day to have picture man photographers walking around at almost any event that you'd have guests. It wasn't a whole camera or backdrop kind of thing with formal posing. Just a brief, take a minute to smile with a group of your friends or date and order them later.

Yes, I have photos from inside and outside all the parties except not inside prefs. Of course, I have a ton for Bid Day!

The picture men were at all major events! They weren't at mixers, though.

Wow. It surprises me that they were in the parties. I don't think we did that at UGA, but I may just misremember it.

Haha--My daughter has been known to pass out from the heat and had actually done it at a concert not long before recruitment began. This was exactly the advice I gave her-don't be that girl!

She must have kept pretty cool and well-hydrated. She didn't really complain about the heat too much. For their longer breaks between parties the girls can wait in the Panhellenic suite and cool off a bit.

Does anyone have the number of pnms registered for recruitment at Auburn? The last number was an expected 1200. Is that number accurate?

Best of luck to all sorority members and pnms!

[carnation]

Ooo! They're in Ice Water Teas now!

You know what I've thought for years but may not have posted? One reason it hurts to be cut is that because the sorority members are so very nice to everyone, due to Southern courtesy, and a PNM might mistake that for "They really like me!" And maybe they do like the PNM but they cut her for whatever reason and she's devastated, of course.

My daughter told me there were 82 Pi Chi groups with about 15 a group. So the number should be around 1230 -1240.
