Bid Day Parties: http://spotted.onlineathens.com/gall....php?id=421203

LOVE THESE!!! Oh, those UGA girls all look so great! All the chapters pictured looked great. I love the different "looks" each house has for bid day (cocktail dresses at some houses, athletic attire at others, what appeared to trucker outfits at another, all looking great)...why couldn't we have been that creative back in the day? I also love the white dresses for the new members (though I can't imagine wearing a white dress to bid day parties back in my college years).

One thing though...the irony of the young ladies wearing the cowboy boots with shorts and short skirts (obviously as part of a theme) and the earlier thread on this site about "boots with skirt" and the heated arguments that ensured from that thread. In particuarly, the girls wearing the cowboy boots with the running/training shorts (Gamma Phi active members - and GORGEOUS girls, BTW) showed why that look just doesn't work in certain circumstances. In their defense, it was clear they were just doing it for effect. (Loved their T-shirts and theme, though the pic of the girl with the fake mustache caught me off-guard at first).

The Sundress/cowboy boot thing was all the rage last fall at every football tailgate we attended. In fact it was kind of funny because we took our whole family to an Ole Miss game and my college daughter wore boots and my out of college daughter wore flip flops. So there may be an age limit on its appropriateness

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.

The UGA newspaper posted this 6-minute video about Bid Day:

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.

Thank you so much for the fabulous info!

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.
