alum, I am a member of the HAPA round table event. Please don't worry too much about the headshot/full body shot. If you want to do it, spring clothing is fine. Most of the girls submitted both a head shot and full length shot. Truly, the recs are the most important thing. The photos just give the sororities an opportunity to match the face with the name so they can make the young ladies feel more at home when they come to the recruitment events.
As PenguinTrax mentioned, this isn't a college policy-- just something HAPA has recommended. I'd say we send about 200 girls each year off to 15+ colleges. That's a very small percentage of the girls going through recruitment!!!! There are many other APs in TX who hold similiar round tables and don't even discuss including photos with recs/apps. Easier said than done: try not to stress about this. It's not a hidden pre-req.
