Unhappy

So what you're basically saying is that whatever letters she had didn't belong to a "good" sorority in your standards. Considering every sorority at UGA is exceptional that is extremely rude to say and inaccurate.

Relax. It's impossible to go through rush and not form an opinion of each house, whether it's justified/accurate or not. We're judging the PNMs, and they're judging us right back.

I went through at UGA in the 90s, and there was one house where, I kid you not, every sister I talked to had exceptionally thick eyebrows - think Brooke Shields, not Frida Kahlo. So for the remainder of my time in college, any time I saw those letters, I would immediately check their eyebrows. They may have had some thin-browed girls, but I never met one.

I think the fact that Sparkles found a home speaks to the inclusive nature of the Greek System at UGA. But it's likely that some houses would try to tame her, and others would let Sparkles be Sparkles.

Ha... ha... ha... ha... BraveMaroon-- I think I know what house that was! I think My best friend in HS pledged there (and yes she had THOSE eyebrows)-- I went to visit one weekend and every time I met another sister all I could think was OMG they ALL have the exact freaking eyebrows!!!!! ha ha ha.... It was distracting...

That's correct. I meant perfect more in the way that every house is pretty equal in terms of looks, involvement, etc.

For some reason, I know a bunch who had 8. The groups were told that cuts would be heavy and that 8 would be good!

Photos of women taking part in sorority recruitment can be found on Spotted OnlineAthens. Images are posted each day of women on the buses, walking to meetings and recruitment counselors in their bright outfits.
