Lock your cell phone/purse in your car or leave them at home. Bring a ziploc or small tote with a couple of dollars, your keys and your student ID. Maybe a lipstick and some blotting papers-- makeup melts on your face and in the sun, so be careful about what make up you wear and pack. Bring along any regular/emergency meds, including a tampon (you never know).
Your recruitment counselor will keep an eye on everything when you are at the parties. Do bring an umbrella and a bottle of water. You may want to have a cereal bar and some breath mints handy, too. It's a long day with unpredictable weather and few breaks!
Short skirts aren't bad as long as they fit and they're not uber-short. You will end up sitting, kneeling or squatting and possibly sitting on the floor at some of these events, so a "short" skirt should be one that comes just above the knee or slightly shorter. Anything more than that and you might unintentionally embarrass yourself!
It's HOT outside and COLD inside! At least one PNM each year at UCF down in Orlando faints during a party due to a combination of dehydration and heat. Eat breakfast, wear sunscreen and drink water!

If you do need to carry a cell phone with you (my mom had cancer during recruitment one year and was in the hospitial when I was doing recruitment) put it on silent even if you leave it in the hall in a bag. If it is for a medical reason see if you RC can hold it for you. She can always get you if it goes off, but it is much more polite for her to help excuse you then checking a beeper or cell phone during a party.
It should go without saying, but please... for the sake of everybody... avoid heavy perfumes. I had one PNM who made me sneeze the whole time I was talking to her.
