Oh, I remember Dress Checks. They were actually fun! The seniors gave awards during dress checks. My pledge Grandma awarded me the "Fastest Changer In the West."
Kinda cheesy, but it was cute and fun.
Now as far as what we wore...granted this was 5-6 years ago...and styles and Recruitment rules have changed.
The first day is very casual...we usually wore an AGD T-shirt that were either just block letters or a sisterhood theme with khaki shorts and white canvas platform tennis shoes.
2nd day was AGD Round-up, a Western Theme for a couple of years...We did denim shorts or skirt and a red bandana themed AGD shirt with bandanas in our hair or around our necks.
I know recently the girls have done a garden theme for that day and did floral print skirts, white t-shirts and flip-flops.
The third day was our MTV skit AGDtv. We wore denim camp shirts - sleeveless or shortsleeve...with black shorts or skirts.
Fourth day was a little fancier...was usually a Jazz or City Park theme. We wore fitted white shirts and black skirts with black hose and black shoes.
For Pref Night, we wear black cocktail dresses. I think most of the chapters at my alma mater wear black cocktail/after-five dresses for that evening. It's a special time. It's the seniors last rush. It's a very emotional and beautiful night.
The thing to remember is to not make it expensive for everyone where they have to go out and buy new outfits. Try and pick pieces that everyone might already have in the closets. Like white t-shirts, fitted white dress shirts, khakis, etc....And, give them options for bottoms. Pick a bottom color like khaki or denim and let the girls decide individually if they want to wear shorts, a skirt or pants.
Or do khaki/denim/black bottom and let members chose the top...like those fitted shirts from the Gap and Banana that are 3/4 sleeved. They come in solids and in all different colors. Some could be bright pink, red, blue, purple, green, etc...
This goes back to making it easier for the members because they might already have the item and it also helps show some individuality in your members.
Hope that helps.
