Mentioning one MAYBE two facts you've learned wouldn't be a bad thing. Choose fun facts that are obvious and easy to find, like the philanthropy, mascot, etc. Revealing you know their founders, year of founding, songs, etc. might be a little much. The clothes depend on campus culture. I appreciated COB PNM's that had obviously taken the effort to look nice (because a sister will reflect on me, too, so being well groomed whenever possible is appropriate and a plus), but thought the ones that had badly overdressed were trying to hard, whether that was fair or not. Many wore jeans and cute shoes and a cute top to our COB's. Not going out clothes, just cute clothes you'd wear to go shopping, for instance. Basically, don't spend four hours doing your hair and make up and buy new clothes, but do look like you've bothered to pick out an outfit and brush your hair. But again, that depends on the campus. The majority of chapters on mine weren't so much interested in brand names or physical beauty so much as an "I at least try" attitude.
