A slew of sorority girls?

Smuth.

I cannot think of a good collective noun, but I thought I would share with you what this photo made me think of. When I drive home to the farm, there are a lot of pastures with stands of trees in them. The trees all look manicured as the cows tend to strip all branches off of them up to a certain height. The skirts in the pictures seem to mimic this trait. And just like the trees in the the pasture, they might be kinda pretty to look at from afar, but step too close, and you are most likely going to find yourself in a big pile of cow shit.

Ok, it's a gaggle of geese... so, um... a haggle of um... hags?????

Mr Happy has an acronym for situations like this: SOS

Style Over Substance

* A gaggle of gigglers
* A jam of jejunes
* A litter of lamebrains
* A vein of vacuousness
* A slew of skirts
* A bevy of bouncy breasts (couldn't help myself there...)
* A parliment of promsicuity
* A volery of vapid
* A tribe of tits (there I go again...)
* A pride of pink
* A network of naivete
* A fright of frivolous
* A brigade of bourgeois
* A collection of...
nah, never mind. That's too easy.

That's all I've got. My head hurts. Other parts of me are mildly excited as well, which has set off a war between my brain and my libido that I'm hoping will result in victory for the brain this time.

Good to see you're alive and well. Keep posting!

All that comes to mind is a choke of sorority girls. What that says about me, I'm not so sure, but it sprang to mind immediately.

I think they'd /want/ to be a sioree of sorority girls...but that's /them/.

I'd call it a nightmare...having attended HS a stone's throw from UCLA and it's Sorority Row...

A superficiality of sorority girls.

Whaddya think?

Jeez! It's like some awful fuckin' cloning experiment. I take it you never get a Sorority Goth Girl?? I guess they wouldn't hang out with the vapid masses anyway......

That's a lot of pink outfits in one photo. can't think of a term for sorority girls.

Loved your Gibson Girl sweater in the Fall IK. Congrats to you and hope you had a good vacation!

Um, is it a coming out party?? i.e. society kinda gals OR some type sorority rush???

A Flamingo of Frat-girls?

I vote for a "skirt". Or maybe a "flotilla", like balloons, because they're airheads... :)

I would second Allison's suggestion - but I would suggest a 'knee skirt' of soroity girls. [Skirt allows too much freedom - you have have short, long, tight, loose, flowing, straight. Not just the one length, and implied cut!]

Oh man, Alpha Chi Omegas? I guess I was lucky that rush always happened when it was coldest in Syracuse. Hard to see all that pink with parkas on.

Cookie pressed individuals. All pressed into the same mold.

Welcome back girlie! Watch out for the rubbernecking drivers on Milledge during Rush Week...accidents abound.

Email me and tell me where your house is! I know the street but not the number....

And also, Bling is playing at Farm this weekend. You should come if you don't have plans!

Just.so.you.know: NORTHERN U.S. sorority women do NOT look like that. At least I don't think so. My daughter did not join a sorority, but man....look at all that pink. Holy cow.

Waow.
I thought that only existed in american movies. So it's real. Well well.

An ignorant reader from europe.

I needed more music! I heard of a few but not all of them, thanks for that.

I would vote for something that had the word 'squat' in it. Probably because all I can think of is after they graduate a number of them would go to Hollywood to 'make it' (which would ultimately fail and result in the x-rated kind of acting career they couldn't write home about).

While not actually being a fan of the sisterhood, I hate to condemn them all out of hand as vapid or shallow. They're so young.....and I like a pink dress myself.

How about a flutter?

Ugh. That picture make me physically ill. I was one of those girls 12 years ago this month. Different university, but not really. It is one of the most negative, heartwrenching turning points in your life when you're rejected by something or someone you don't even understand to begin with. What I can't get my head around is that this crap goes on year after year, in colleges and universities all over the country. I'm just glad I got the heck out and realized I'd made a huge mistake when I thought I wanted to be a part of something so shallow, meaningless and cruel. Bitter? Me?

While I am a big fan of the "skirt" suggestion, I tend to refer to these girls as "trixies". Picked that up from a Chicago dweller, so maybe there's a reference there.

A giggle of sorority girls.

I've never seen anything like it. All that pink, all the same length ... how did they convince each other it was a good idea?

Perhaps they are a 'meme' of ladies.

we always called them sorostitutes or frat mattresses. i like the "giggle" suggestion best.

A gaggle. Silly gooses.

Oof. I'm so glad I went to a school with no Greek life. The closest thing we had was the women's rugby team, and as you might imagine, that was not remotely close at all.

Oh, sure, don't allow html. In that case, I mean, GAGgle.

But I would like to express some dismay at all the sorority girl bashing in the comments here. Sorority bashing, fine--just as making fun of any mindless conformity is fair game--but girl bashing, not so much. I bet there are some damn fine (if somewhat confused) women in that bunch.

A throng of thongs (most likely!)
We always called them Sor-whores.

I always wait for my husband after football games near frat row and get out my iPaq and look up the humorous names they give their wireless networks - my favorite so far is Penisville. So appropriate for a frat house!!

This is the third time I've tried to send this comment. For some reason I keep losing it when I hit Tab. Do you have an e-mail address I can use so I don't get published in the comments? I like pretty in pink, though this picture just shrieks "southern belle"!

Ohhh... my head hurts from looking at all that PINK. Uck. How about calling it a sorostitution ring?
