Well at least it seems like the Rho Chis are dealing with the funny blue vests. Granted it was colder in our deferred recruitment, but our Rho Chis have bright orange wind breakers on. The blue vests are a little much!!!!

And I saw some def. recruitment fashion dos and don'ts in the pics!!!! But an awful lot of girls were wearing flip flops!

They do look a lot alike - but there were some cute dresses in there!

I have a question that maybe someone can clear up - I noticed a lot of flip-flops in the pictures, yet I have been told that heels are standard at a lot of SEC schools, such as Ole Miss. Is UGA stepping outside of the box on this one?

at UGA the girls were told to "get their "rainbows" out and wear them because of all the walking and heat

Something like that...it's a brand name.

And I'm sure they were just wearing them in between parties.

i agree. i'll bet a lot of those girls just wear the flip flops between houses and slip into their dressier shoes before the party begins.

and while i saw a few "don'ts", the vast majority of pnms were dressed in "do's". way to go girls!!

Southern ladies do not sweat. They glow.

thank you tsteven. i was about to pass that pearl of wisdom on to our non-southern panhellenic sisters.

The girls houses are beautiful, the guys don't even compare..but at least get a gardener(hint:hint Beta Theta Pi). I mean guys could trip and get lost in the forest that is the frontyard.

the blue vest are awful and add an unneeded extra layer in the heat, but do have very helpful pockets - they have been at uga rush forever!

Every post about southern PNMs makes the girls out to be beautiful and I always rolled my eyes and thought people were exaggerating- but most of these girls are gorgeous! Must be some tough competition down there!

LOL

With the chapter I advise, it'd be the opposite - they're really moving closer to no-frills and the example we were told to help us is that we can't have girls all wearing black pants - to go for a variety of lengths (cropped, long, etc.)

Actually, probably not. Rainbow flip flops are HUGE at UGA and considered "dressy" flip flops. Round 1 is probably the most "casual"(if you can call it that) of the rounds and since they walk so much, the girls probably wore the flip flops. Heels come out more in skit and, for sure, pref round.

And I am SO excited there are so many UGA threads!! I hate being out of the loop on all the rush talk...

The blue vests have been around a long time and they are kind of a tradition, I guess. I think it might be trying to send a message that these are people who are there to help you and support you, not glam it up or make you feel intimidated by their hotness.

Look at those PNMs and look up the UGA admissions standards these days. Know that almost all of them have extensive activities and good conversational skills. They will all seem eager to be at your party. Now, ask yourself how you would decide who to keep and who to release.

(Academically UGA wasn't as selective when I went there, and I really don't remember everyone going through rush being as universally pretty, so I'm not trying to retro-actively flatter myself, I promise.)

Thanks for posting the pics. Looks like red is the color of choice this year -- makes sense for UGA I guess.
