My two cents:
1. Take into account your campus culture. Take into account what YOU want. If designer labels are important to the chapters you are interested in, buy them. If you are interested in a chapter that focuses on other things, don't waste your money.
2. When in doubt, go classic. Trendy stuff often looks cheap, fits badly, and isn't appropriate.
3. Make sure everything fits. It should not look similar to shrink rap, but you shouldn't be pulling up your pants or your top constantly, either.
4. Don't go buy a bunch of new stuff just because it's new. If you have a fabulous dress from 9th grade that you are comfortable in and feel good in, wear it.
5. Girls don't care to see your cleavage. Or up your skirt. You aren't rushing for a bid from a bunch of guys.
6. If you aren't comfortable, you will act nervous and irritable. If you act nervous and irritable, it will throw off your interaction with your rusher. If you throw off your interaction with your rusher, she might not give glowing recommendations. Especially if there are 800 of you going through that night, and you were the 400th most friendly.
7. Brush your teeth. Brush your hair. Don't spend 8 hours on your make up.
