Hello DSTRen13 and all,
I had to smile when I read this, because I remember hearing & having similar conversations with friends preparing to go apply for different orgs. The "word on the street" amongst many hopefuls was that ALL colors were forbidden, except for brown or grey - PERIOD! (This wasn't just limited to Rush or interest meetings; a campus atmosphere could lend itself to folks walking around looking like the Murkies from Rainbow Brite.) Black seemed like a safe enough bet, but you never knew what "they" were going to wear - and sometimes the attire was all black for rmembers too!
