That does sound pretty casual. I wouldn't tell you to definitely wear jeans unless you know that lots of other rushees will be wearing them, too. Be yourself, but don't pigeonhole yourself as the "hippie girl" by wearing an outfit you're not sure about. If you have to question whether it is appropriate or not, it's probably safest to wear something else. You usually can't go wrong by dressing up a little bit... MUCH better to be a tad overdressed than too casual. Too casual can be interpreted as being disrespectful or just not caring about how you present yourself.
Obviously, I don't know you or your college, or what clothes are "normal" for rush there, but these are just some things to consider.
Don't get me wrong, clothes aren't the most important thing during rush, but they do count for something when people have to make snap judgements, as they unfortunately do during rush week.
Good luck!!
