ETA: If the picture was indeed from a pool/beach event, then that explains a lot! Attire like that is fine for covering up a bathing suit. If this is from a normal party, I think 33girl's assessment is pretty accurate:

Whatever happened to "if you can't say anything nice"?

Hi, welcome to GC. Also, have you SEEN the photo we were referencing?

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.

look maryland, its california (lol). If you think a bathing suit coverup is bad, I hope your visit to southern california is short.

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.

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

SWTXBelle · #24 04-06-2008, 03:09 PM

Idea's what? Who is Idea? And what does she have??

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.

I do not believe chapters were bashed.
An opinion was offered on a specific shirt.
When you ask for suggestions for shirts, it is possible that offered suggestions will be commented on by other posters.
One person's cute is another person's "skanky".

I understand but how could you not take "I'd be embarrassed if one of my sisters dressed like that", personally?

Anyway, I'm over arguing. let me know if any of you guys see anything cute on campus....

One girl on panhellenic team sent me this slogan for recruitment "Whatever the Letter, Greeks do it better!"

bueno? or no bueno? I kind of don't like it because it MIGHT intimdate pnm's

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.

You could have "Whatever the letters, we're all Greek together" which plays up the unity, rather than looking like Greeks think they are better than everyone else.
