Yes, we were given very detailed rush booklets. You would not believe how much those things are scrutinized. Especially by girls who don't know "anything" about sorority life. For them it's not only a vital resource of rush ettiquitte, but also their first glimpse at what these org's look like and are all about.
For the most part, actually most girls basically ignored the suggestions for the first day's dress code, which was nice shorts and a blouse. Most girls went straight for a knee length skirt and blouse or sweater set and progressively got more formal from there.
Since my freshman year (98!), the rush process here has changed quite a bit. Now first day is just house tours. No rushees even talk to sisters on this day, so it really is shorts & a nice top now. Second day is philanthropy now, so the girls all wear the same rush T shirt and shorts. After that, it's more formal and the girls follow what's in the book. (longer/more formal dresses for day 3 &4, and the "little black dress" for day 5)
