While I agree not everyone looks good in white, we've decided to be different because practically every other house on campus dresses in black. Plus, it's not nearly important how the individuals look, rather it's the entire effect. We also add a touch more color through flower arrangements. And another thing, PNM's traditionally where black (although they are being "officially" discouraged from it this year, who knows if they'll listen), so it's a nice contrast.

But I understand if you don't want to go with white or black. I would then suggest navy and don't worry about the color variations between dresses. On Ice Water Tea/Open House/1st round (whatever you call it on your campus) our actives wear different shades of light/azure blue sundresses. Obviously it's impossible to match, but I believe it shows the unity of the sisterhood while at the same time displaying individuality. I suspect the same thing would happen with navy. Not to mention that navy would be much easier to blend together than light blue.

A word to the wise if your Recruitment is this fall, you need to make a decision ASAP especially if you want to change to white. It's not easy finding white dresses or shoes after Memorial Day. I also remember one year we changed what we wanted everyone to where for Skit Day/3rd round in mid-summer and everyone screamed bloody murder because they had already bought something. My experience has shown that any changes to Recruitment attire should be decided on in early Spring.

We have deferred rush.
