They just don't seem to work...besides the riding up and the length issues, they also seem to gather too high at the waist.

There are are a number of style trends right now that seem to be a conglomeration of past style fails:

bell bottom jeans
rompers
pre-ripped jeans
midriff-bearing shirts
"Mom jeans" with a high waist
And my #1 current "can't wait for this to go out of style" trend: cutting a licensed vendor shirt according to some YouTuber's directions, to make it into a revealing halter/whatever top for some event.

This is one of the things I love about advising -- staying on top of the latest trends and social media preferences, just to see how quickly things turn over. I think it's about every 3 years.

Even the name sounds toddler-ish. Anyone else remember the TV show “Romper Room?”

I loved that show!! i just recently found out that each PBS area had a different host which I found super interesting!

I think I rocked red overhauls during round 1 or 2 in 1986, since with deferred rush it was too cold for rompers.

I will say - I do think this fashion has come back in a major way. My college freshman likes the jumpsuits that remind me of the 70s. And my high school junior rocks rompers. Heck, with the exception of the Doc Marten sandals - her first day of school outfit (with a purple leopard print top and large plastic white "chain link" earrings, looked like something I would have worn in high school.

At least now the rompers *might* look like short dressy dresses. Anyone else remember the Laura Ashley rompers of the mid-1980s? Those really did look like toddler rompers.

Do you mean these numbers? In Summer/Fall 1990 into 1991, in Georgia, these were all the rage:

Second picture down, the dress on the right: I swear that's what my date wore to the ZTA pledge dance.

Yep. Totally wore ones like this when I rushed. Two different rompers for both days of round one. I like to think that's my peak fashion victim moment, and then I remember my gold metallic prom mini-dress that for some reason I wore with tall metallic spike heels.

On the sort of original topic of the thread, lately, I've been in a "whatever" kind of mood about this stuff.

Most PNMs who stick through the whole process get placed. Sure, you want to get recs and enhance your chances, but even if you didn't, statistically speaking if you stick it out and keep an open mind, it's really likely to work out.

People have a great experience in all of the chapters at Georgia. Don't let the process drive you or your loved ones crazy.

With sequins on them, yes?

@FloridaTish

Yes! They were all the range here in the mid to late 1980s. If I weren't a ZTA, I would wonder if I could have been LaneSig's date because I did, in fact, have a dress just like that. (I did not have a romper as they never quite fit me right.) Now, back to UGA.

Yes! Even at SEC schools, the vast majority of PNMs get placed.

So I heard from my rec girl's mom this morning and her daughter has a full schedule for Round 3. In no particular order: Pi Beta Phi, ZTA, AOII, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta and Sigma Kappa. She is very happy with her schedule!

How many girls signed up for UGA’s recruitment?

[DubaiSis]

I don't, but I COULD wear a romper. This is where short and "curvy" pays off. You tall thin gals can suck it.��
Helping at a house tours practice I did see a couple camel toes that really were unacceptable.
