UGa Recruitment Starting!

For those who didn't understand the "Bullet Proof" nametags, it comes from this song.

I'm assuming they changed the words in a skit or something to fit rush since the orginal words are about not getting hurt again in love.

Obviously, folks can do what they want with bid day. But I guess I'm enough of a traditionalist and am sentimental enough that I like the idea of giving the news girls hang tags with the GLO symbols on it, rather than something that changes from year to year or has to be explained.

I suppose the upside, as I see it, to the probably inevitable involvement of parents with UGA bid day will be a toning down or classing up bid day themes.

The chapters who have led the informal trend are outstanding chapters absolutely. I think it's a kind of deliberately ironic thing for them to wear athletic, super dressed down bid day stuff, rather than any kind of actual bad taste on their part.

But I just don't like it much.

I'm with you on this. Although, and clearly I'm biased, I like what Sigma Kappa did - they had a "baseball" theme and their tags were heart-shaped, but white with the red stitching to look like baseballs.

I'm not a huge fan of the tanktops with short shorts and super tall athletic socks. Having lived through the seventies and eighties once, I am not super thrilled to see that regurgitated.

To each her own.

Haha, I thought my husband would never quit wearing his coaching shorts and tube socks.

Just a minor correction on someone's earlier post - there were 1180 bids given out...one of the girls on the bid list was listed twice.

Gamma Phi Beta took 70 amazing new members including 4 - yes 4!! - local girls I wrote recs AND did hometown honey powerpoint slides for. One was a Gamma Phi legacy - the chapter pledged 10 out of 17 legacies going thru - but my local Gamma Phi sister is totally over the (crescent) moon about her daughter going Gamma Phi! Three of the girls I rec'd who pledged Gamma Phi are in the Honors program and the other was close to being eligible for it. They are gorgeous amazing girls and I am so HAPPY!!!!!!

And swtxbelle - there are no Katy TX girls I can find on the list so they may be listed by some other Texas city name? PM me and I can look.
