Here’s what looks like a twist on the “matching outfits” discussion; evidently at the U. of Arkansas, for NPC recruitment the potential new members are given standard shirts for each day of recruitment, except for Pref.
Quote from the college Panhellenic site, with link / URL below that:
“What to Wear
Potential New Members will be provided with 4 shirts to wear on designated days (Open House Parties, Five Party, and Four Party). These may be worn with shorts, jeans, slacks, or casual skirts. Please remember to wear comfortable shoes for walking and to bring an umbrella in case of rain!
Potential New Members are only responsible for providing their own outfit for Preference Round Parties. As noted below, these should be cocktail - type dresses, not full-length formals. Again, please remember to dress comfortably due to the extensive walking and bring an umbrella in case of rain!”

Is this intended to cut down on the fear, anxiety, or obsession that some PNMs can feel when they think about what they should wear? And if that's the intent, does it work?

Are these t-shirts, blouses, what? I think it would be OK to wear a t-shirt one day for philanthropy when you're doing crafty things, but I would feel a bit frumpish if forced to wear them every day of rush. Not only that - what if the sizing's wonky and they don't fit properly?
