I wish I had someone in a sorority to critique my outfits for recruitment. :D I know I would feel a lot more confident about what I am planning on wearing. But I guess I will have to wait until I get in one to have that pleasure!! :D :D :D :D

Well here's an idea...if you have a scanner, take pics of the outfits and post them on here. There are lots of sorority women on here ;).

your kidding right.......

I personally think it is a great idea!!;)

aluma stopping by...
 

Hey Alpha Nu sister! You'll have me, one crabby alumna stopping by this weekend to see ya'll! I can't wait...my little sister is coming in town in just a few days and I get to be on the standing around chit chatting side of recruitment this year instead of holding the stopwatch!! I can't wait to see everyone, especially since ya'll will be working on recruitment...my faaavvvorite time of year! Anyway, see you Friday or Saturday....
Pi Rho Pi,
Tara :)
I have Phi Mu castle...

It's interesting to see how rush is different at each school. At my school, all the girls in the houses must dress the same. We even have matching shoes. Some houses do it so they are all similar, but we buy exactly the same thing. An alumni who graduated last year works in the Nordstrom exec office (or something, she's not just a sales clerk though). Anyway, she picked most everything out with the help of our rush chair. She brought everything to our house and we tried everything on. She recorded our sizes and billed us. I like it this way because I don't trust some of the girls to pick out nice outfits. There's also less for us to worry about.

We always did dress checks in July so that people would have time to fix problems. Dress checks are helpful and keep people looking polished.

We do dress checks during spirit week (work week). Our outfits though are usually the same shirt, with the same type of bottom (be it all black skirts, black pants, etc.). Then we have the same type of shoes usually also. This is all except pref night where we all wear black dresses.

The big thing we do is during spring semester people do a fashion show of what we will be wearing, and show things we shouldnt do. Things like lengths of skirts and what not.

We dont meet during the summer, because we dont have a house. We are part of an all greek dorm, so during the summer we dont really have a place for everyone to meet.

This is pretty much how it works for us too...I can't imagine what we'd all look like if we picked out our own clothing...we'd probably have over 80 different outfits, eek!

Oh funny, Carrie..I didn't even realize that you go to UW also! Which GLO are you in? Go Dawgs! :)

Here at FSU, we have wardrobe committee that selects 3 outfit choices for each day of recruitment. Then each sister (seniority counts here) picks which of the 3 she'd like to wear, and the numbers just happen to come out pretty evenly. For Pref, the sorotiy distributes fabric and a pattern #, and we have our dresses made. This year, they're scarlet iradescent- 1 shoulder, tube, or spaggetti strapped.:p

We had dress check right after finals (before you left, you got checked), and we have another check for girls who needed to go and buy different outfits the first day of work week. Basically, our exec told us what the guidelines for the week were and trusted us to be able to dress ourselves since we've done it every day since about the third grade.:rolleyes:

We had checks during polish week. This year they also did an early check before school got out. We were all told to wear the same thing (i.e. black capris, black flip flops) and they give us the tshirt we wear. We all look alike, but I know you can get an infraction (at least at CU when I was there) if you all had identical (as in same brand, etc) clothing. One house got fined my junior year for all having gap capris and the same brand white sneakers.

I MISS RECRUITMENT!
