Ummm...... correct me if I'm wrong.....

These girls look like they're having a good time. The description of what was being poured on these girls is just downright disgusting, but obviously at the time these girls weren't minding it, because after one girl they would have stopped it.

And what's with the eating stuff out of a guy's "area"????

What's with the kissing the guys and all that? I would hope KAT's International HQs is looking at this incident!! Also, if the sisters stood around and allowed this to happen to their new members, aren't they responsible as well???

I have to agree with PM Mama... Not one of these ladies or gentlemen, look like they are mad/disgusted or otherwise upset. The pictures show smiling, rowdy college students.

Though, I agree with the person who said.. be careful about inviting the photo people... There was a group in Flordia in September that invited partypics to their lake party... They were photographed with their bathing suit tops off and their dates covering their breasts... I could not imagine what their nationals thought, "hummm, not appropriate XY material, but at least their dates were proper enough to cover their tops so they did show nudity!"

Of COURSE the pictures were of "happy" students.. why would a photographer take a picture of girls who are sulking in a corner?

And, put yourself in their place: if a girl came out & said "stop it" - tell me, do you think that would happen?

This is hazing, plain & simple.

KD closed a chapter last year because of similar incidents.

Bottom line - when you represent your sorority, ie when people know outright "Oh, the KD's are coming over!" you do not do anything that can embarrass your chapter - local or nationally.

AHHhhh....the joys of being greek at UF.

And most of you thought I was one of a kind from UF.

I cannot fathom why on earth ANYONE would want an outsider taking pics of their private mixers, whether there is anything funky going on or not. The only time we EVER had professional photographers was at pledge pickup (bid night) and after they took pics of all the classes, and a few candid shots, they were outta there. In fact - isn't having people other than brothers or sisters at a mixer an infraction? If we were ever found to have outsiders at a mixer - anyone, from students to townies to an alum's spouse - we would have gotten majorly fined or disciplined.

The party pics are a common thing at UF. At almost every party there is someone taking snap shots for the online community.

It's more like a PR thing, "Hey we're making this a public thing to show we're not doing anything wrong in our eyes."

Flash Foto has been taking pics at all UF greek functions for at least 20 years (back in the days when my older sister went to UF). They're at all greek socials & date functions.

The proofs are delivered to the hosting GLO's house & everyone selects which they want.

Putting them online is new - probably within the last couple years. It's easier for the company to sell more pictures that way.

It is still Flash Foto they just dont bring the proofs to you anymore they put them online for people to order. I guess its easier for them and us...dont really need a flash chair anymore.

Party Pics can be a big liability if your party is doing anything to break campus policy. Just communicate to them that you don't want any pictures of certain things and they won't take them!

Many chapters are not smart about this! On our "dry" campus you need look no further than the party pics website to find pictures of guys taking hits off of beer bongs.

Most universities in Florida use Flash Foto for their date functions and socials. We use to have the proofs delivered to our house but found it easier to have them posted online. Our school has a special password so that pictures will be viewed only by the UCF greeks.

curlygirly · #28 10-29-2002, 01:44 PM

In theory, the password idea is really good, but not fool proof.

I recently came across through some photos of girls without their tops on (with their dates hands covering them) at the Date Function of a UF Chapter. The page was "password protected"...but somehow people outside the chapter saw them!

The pics were forwarded to me by someone...so it's that easy for people to get to them.

UF_PikePC98 · #29 10-29-2002, 02:27 PM

Did you have to bring that story up???

Now you will have people from Greek Chat looking for those pics.

If I'm thinking it was the same incident, last spring break down in Key West, girls from a certain sorority ( That my brothers and I are fond of) were extremely wasted and did what their nortoriously known for....being party girls.... they got snapped by a few digital cameras....Tops off and all......

It was my my ex-girls glo......

Yes, it was a bad joke...

Yes, they got yelled at by the prez

No, it was not FLASH.....

Flash would not take such pics.......It was done by some frat boys who thought they'd be funny.......

At first I thought it was funny myself.....But it's not something you post online......Those girls could easily get thrown out of their GLO for that.

I heard about the Kappa picture like that. Actually, I saw it, because it was set as the wallpaper on one of the Pi Kapp's computers here.
