2015 UGA Recruitment

UGA19 · #1 03-02-2015, 08:00 PM

Hello everyone! Due to the immense amount of knowledge and advice on this site, I feel pretty up to speed about the requirements and expectations for fall recruitment, but was left with a few questions (some of which are UGA specific, others not!). I am in the process of compiling my recommendation packets and was wondering if there was a preferred time to distribute them? Are black dresses the norm for pref round at UGA? Since UGA is a rather competitive school academically, at least in my opinion, any tips to stand out in from a pool of girls in which most have 4.0s and are extremely talented, smart, well rounded young ladies? Any other specific University of Georgia advice or advice in general? I appreciate any and all advice, thank y'all in advance!

UGA Sophomore here -

Distribute your packets late Spring semester and try to have them sent in by your rec writers by early summer (June).

Yes - black dresses are the norm for prefs.

If you know any girls who are already in sororities at UGA, let them know that you are going through recruitment and that you are open-minded (which I hope you are) and excited about getting a bid! Work on conversation skills so you don't struggle especially during the early rounds when everyone talks about the same sort of things. Be the girl who is easy and fun to talk to not the one with the dead end answers.

Show off your fun, happy self, but don't do anything to call attention to yourself in weird way. You don't want to be "The Girl with the ..... (strange hat, cat purse, denim jumpsuit...) You get it.

Most important - have fun. It shows.

Or the girl with the pink feather boa and bubbles rising behind her. (See the "Weird Rush Stories" thread.)

Or the girl all in orange and purple.

What's wrong with my denim jumpsuit! Oh, wait...
Go with what Confetti said. It was well-stated.

What, no pink sequinned fishnet pantyhose?

I don't think a denim jumpsuit is wrong if it's acid washed.

B-b-but she'd do so well at Clemson!

Twin #1 is going to UGA and we are getting her packets together. We have contacted all the sorority women we know and only have a few houses where we need to locate people to write Recs. Our final transcript is not ready until early June, do we wait for that to send out the packets or do we start with the 7 semester transcript?

Titchou · #12 03-17-2015, 10:22 AM

Send what you have. As for the recs you are missing, have you asked the ones you alrady have lined up if they know anyone in those groups? Have you checked the national web sites to see if they have an alum group in your town?

FSUZeta · #13 03-17-2015, 10:24 AM

I would follow confetticupcake's advice. She is a current member is a UGA sorority. And Titchou's too!

However - plenty of cute orange and/or blue dresses seen 1st round at Auburn. It is both a cute sundress or day dress you will have a chance to wear again, and (I think) seen as a "safe" choice by not picking up on any one sororities colors. (i.e. - not choosing red over green or yellow, etc.)

Ask some of the seniors if they ever heard the story about "Sparkles".
