i know this seems like a dumb question (and mucho apologies that it's not bpack related, but it's an adventure, nonetheless), but i just found out i have a teeny-tiny part in an independent movie!!! the filming begins late next month. Yippee skippy!!

anyway, the question is (as this is the tiny part i'll be characterizing)
What the HECK do college sorority girls wear these days?? How the stink do they style their hair??
Where can i even find this information out? with summer vacation going on, i can't even scope out the campus's...

if it's a formal type show off party goto EXPRESS and find the tightest cute lil outfit...black stretch type pants..a short black mini, or a long tight black skirt..or you can go with the tight tan capri's and a pastel or bright tight top with a weird hang off the shoulders deal..like one arm and then goes under the other arm, or with a low neckline.

If it's informal to get super drunk and pass out..you go with a lil more casual express outfit..not as tight..maybe a cute capri cargo pant or goto American Eagle or Aeropostle and go with the cute surf chic bum look

MTV did some show a few months back about sororities. A'Real World' kind of thing. If you can find a copy of that or see if they are re-running it this summer, watch it.

Watch it!!
Hey! I'm offended! I was a college sorority girl! We wore snow boots (not thigh-high boots) and baseball caps to campus, so doing our hair wasn't a high priority, and the only time we put makeup on was if we were going to a formal dance!

I guess that was because we got over 300" of snow a year. Its tough to walk in heels in the snow. :)

We used to have these stupid weekends once a year where all the chapters of our sorority in the state got together. We totally didn't fit in with the rest of them. We didn't bleach our hair, or have too many fancy clothes, just functional stuff for where we lived. We were like the ugly red-headed step children of the state. :)

Seriously, I'm not offended, but not all sorority girls are the same!

The sorority girls from Sigma, Sigma, Sigma from Southwest Missouri State College were up early to catch some sun. I guess they figured no one else would be up at 7:00am and that they would have the pool to themselves

So what is the attraction of sorority girls then? I watched the MTV thing and they all just seemed irritating. How are sorority girls different than other young girls?

Their ability to drink a case of beer and still stand up?

Amazing, isn't it? Some sorority girls lived next door to me for a while when I was in college. The short, perky cute one could drink a sailor under the table.

If they're anything like Australian women then you have to be prepared to drink them under the table to get anywhere?

ok. location not specific on the movie, "midwestern college town" seems to be the only details. i have no idea about anything about sororities...i tended to mock the ones in my school being i went to college in Fargo, ND!! (i think it was all future farmer sororities or something!)

lyra---
believe it or not i caught a bit of that show last night. wth?? the girls' make-up was crazy!

my college didn't have sororities, smarty-pants. ;-)

i love that show. the best part was when Tyra started making fun of how Adrienne talks, LMAO! we make fun of her every single show. she's one of my faves though, her and Elyse.
