I took the pictures down because I felt 'violetpretty' was trying to defame two different panhellenic chapters. Please refrain from saying you would be embarassed if one of your sisters wore a swim suit cover up. That is rude. If you did not like the styles I like, I understand. Post cute sorority apparel you've seen on your campus. That is what this thread was intended to do.
Read my posts, I didn't say anything about the dresses because I did not have strong feelings on them either way. In fact, I was only talking about one individual in one picture, and I'm sure you can figure out which one. I did not defame two chapters. Also, I am not the only one who expressed disapproval or made snarky comments, so I am not sure why you singled me out.

I wasn't criticizing someone for wearing a swimsuit coverup. If the baseball shirt and the microscopic skirt serve to cover up a bathing suit in a pool or beach party, then they ARE dressed appropriately. I had no reason to think that it was pool or beach related, since the picture appeared overcast and there was no sand or water in sight.

Because of the wristbands, I am assuming the picture is from some sort of party. I lacked the context cues to infer a pool or beach event, and assumed that it was just a normal party. I would be embarrassed to have a sister dressed like that at a normal party because her outfit screams "I am a sexual object" or "You don't need an imagination to picture me naked" or "My best quality is my hot body" or "I want to hook up/I just did". I hope you don't complain or wonder why sororities in general have a stereotype as sluts, because there's your answer.

I'm sure you think I'm some Puritan from the freezing cold Northeast. It gets pretty hot in the summer in Maryland (90-100 plus nasty humidity for at least a month) but we don't wear clothes like that. It gets even hotter and more humid and stays that way for longer in the deep South, and they don't dress like that either.

If you think this thread is mean or rude, clearly you haven't looked around the rest of GC very much.

GC is also a place to share opinions. If you can't take the heat...

There are well over 200 threads on GC, and instead of sharing a positive experience or opinion, you decided to bash on two chapters?

manners, my dear. manners.

As I said before, if you do know of a cute slogan or if you have seen a cute shirt design on campus, do share! Show me designs that you like.

Doesn't apply here.

FWIW, the criticism in this thread is NOTHING compared to some of the other stuff I've seen on GC. Nothing "mean" at all. Looks like the OP couldn't handle it.

our slogan this year is "Make your Mark" but we want to do another slogan for "team" shirts during our recruitment for the disaffiliated girls. Does anyone have any ideas

Not that they aren't hot in the baseball shirts but...not sure I'd want my girls dressing like that during recruitment. It's fine when it's buttoned up with jeans.

The dresses are cute, though, as long as everyone kept the boobies in. I reminded some of my girls that we're rushing girls, not guys. Most of them are going to be nervous sitting down and talking to you when your boobs are on display.

I didnt say jussstttt recruitment, but sorority shirts/outfits as well.... I believe the baseball shirts was for some greekwide pool thing in sb.... so bathing suit attire was appropriate (not completely sure on the event other than it was an outdoors, swimming type event). Either way, i think the design itself is kinda cute.
