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.

OK, ladies (and I use that term loosely), can we drop this part of the discussion? As a Delta Gamma close to this case, I, for one, would appreciate it and would look on it as being in the spirit of Panhellenic to do so.

Thank you.

Seriously?

Perhaps someone should tell the newspapers Society Editors this when it comes to sororities and debutantes. They list girl, parent's, school, major, hometown, high school and almost everything about these girls except their bra size. And their Mama's run out and get dozens of copies to give to all the relatives. When I first moved down South I was fascinated by it but now I realize it's "a Southern Thing".

Except deb balls and many things in the society pages are meant to be in there, even given to the paper by the parties involved. I'm pretty sure most of the women rushing sororities don't give their permission to post their rush results all over the Internet.

No, it's not a "Southern thing..." It may be a "local thing" in some regional areas of the South, but do not call it a "Southern thing." It most certainly isn't and saying so, quite honestly, makes Southerners look like some of the rush-obsessed crazies of GC.

In my little corner of the South, you don't go onto the society page unless you have an engagement, marriage, birth, or death. If you do get in the society pages for something else, people know you're a pretentious bitch.

Need a Snark Warning on your posts, so in the future I don't dump my salad is all over the floor

The two girls who died were not UGA students. One was a young lady from Auburn who was a DG and the other was the president of the UNC student body. Both girls were from the state of Georgia.

She never said they were - read her original post.

I know, but UGAAlum asked the question.

back to happy news... the hometown girl I wrote a rec for is a happy new Kappa Delta! Yay Farmville Four!

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

Thanks for the Diet Coke all over my monitor.

::awkwardly climbs out of hole to discuss something other than lists being posted or not::

So, no DGs in my rec crew this year (unless one of my two Ole Miss girls becomes a DG)... I guess I was spoiled last year by having one at UGA and one at Auburn!

My UGA girls went:
ALPHA CHI OMEGA
DELTA DELTA DELTA
PI BETA PHI
SIGMA DELTA TAU
SIGMA KAPPA

I've also heard from other students from my school who pledged Delta Zeta, Kappa Delta (2), Alpha Gamma Delta (2), and Gamma Phi Beta! I'm sure we have several more who pledged at UGA but I don't feel like seeking them out to find out where... if they want to tell me, they will. I am glad to see these alumnae going so many different places this year!

I think some people take themselves a bit too seriously - I truly can't see any harm to publishing the lists, and obviously Auburn and Alabama don't either. I personally think UGA just lacks the organization to publish the lists and do some of the other publication of statistics that make Greek life more user friendly at other campuses - guess since I am a UGA alum I feel comfortable makiing the comparison...
