Hmm.... I really don't remember-- but I am fairly certain it was a Pan rule because none of the chapters did matching. In the past we were allowed to wear jerseys on the first day, but never matching and we mixed it up with O-Team, CEL and other campus organization polos/jerseys. Then they switched the day's theme from "Ice Water" to "UCF Spirit Day"-- so we couldn't wear jerseys anymore. I think this made things a little more confusing for PNM's because every chapter wore UCF apparel for this round!
In my chapter, the individuals were responsible for procuring their own clothing according to standards set by the recruitment committee. For example, if on philanthropy day we were to wear chinos, brown open toed sandals and belt (matching) and one of three colors of polo shirt (red, white blue), you would be told over the summer which color you were supposed to wear. But it was entirely up to you to decide whether to get your polo shirt from Ralph Lauren or buy it at Target. So long as it was flattering on your frame and passed "inspection" during dress check, you were fine.
I was so suprised at UCLA when there was all this talk of ordering the recruitment clothing and going shopping with the recruitment adviser and the officers to try on options and decide what to order for the entire chapter! (Members paid for their own clothes, but it was all pre-ordered as a matching lot. The adviser had a family connection with a department store, so the chapter was able to get what they needed.)
