UGA Recruitment Winds Down

[PeppyGPhiB]

Regarding the list not being posted, maybe the school just felt it was NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. If you don't know the girl well enough for her to give you a call or email you where she ended up, then you don't need to know.

Perhaps someone should tell the newspapers Society Editors this when it comes to sororities and debutantes. They list girl, parent's, school, major, hometown, high school and almost everything about these girls except their bra size. And their Mama's run out and get dozens of copies to give to all the relatives. When I first moved down South I was fascinated by it but now I realize it's "a Southern Thing".

Except deb balls and many things in the society pages are meant to be in there, even given to the paper by the parties involved. I'm pretty sure most of the women rushing sororities don't give their permission to post their rush results all over the Internet.

Whoa there sister...I never said I wanted to see the list published online.

I'm just giving her a "present" I think she'll enjoy!

Oh, bullshit.

This has nothing to do with "north" or "south" so I don't see why your "present" is relevant. One person posted a possible and logical reason why the bid list wasn't published, and she was treated rudely - by someone who is old enough to know better.

I was just having a little fun.

Seriously, I've never been a proponent of publishing the bid lists on the Internet. Sure, it's convenient when they do. Sure, I look at them, but I understand fully the need for privacy.

No, it's not a "Southern thing..." It may be a "local thing" in some regional areas of the South, but do not call it a "Southern thing." It most certainly isn't and saying so, quite honestly, makes Southerners look like some of the rush-obsessed crazies of GC.

In my little corner of the South, you don't go onto the society page unless you have an engagement, marriage, birth, or death. If you do get in the society pages for something else, people know you're a pretentious bitch.

I got upset because the person who posted is a prospective member who is just trying to be helpful and she doesn't need to be treated so harshly.

Seriously?

The two girls who died were not UGA students. One was a young lady from Auburn who was a DG and the other was the president of the UNC student body. Both girls were from the state of Georgia.

She never said they were - read her original post.

I know, but UGAAlum asked the question.
