I can't say the dress requirements are the same from year to year (I have no idea), but if you are registered for rush, they will let you know ahead of time what the dress requirements are (normally at the orientation meeting). Of course, being October in Oregon it is always a little weather dependent.

Last year the girls were given recruitment T-shirts that they all wore on the first day. You can dress them up a little with cute earrings or a bracelet.

Day 2 was a school spirit theme, so they are were supposed to wear some type of school shirt with jeans (this is where being Nike U is really helpful because if they do this one again, there are LOADS of options). My daughter wore hers with a nice pair of jeans, some spirit beads and low key gold earrings that matched the gold part of the spirit beads.

Here's where I don't quite remember. I THINK day 3 was philanthropy day. Since it was Saturday, a craft, and in the middle of the day, she said most of the girls wore cute shorts (dressier - not short, short or cut off jean shorts of course) or capris with a slightly dressy shirt (not going out dressy - but not a t-shirt or any old shirt).

I think the next day was house tours (I may have these turned around), and here I am really unsure. I want to say she and most of the girls she saw wore dressy jeans, and a dressy (going out) shirt, but some may have also worn sun dresses. Here again, it was midday and very warm. I know the year before a friend of hers said she went with jeans and a nice shirt with a cute shrug because it was chillier and rainy.

Preference day everyone wore cocktail dresses or dressy sun dresses. No particular color was required.

You walk a lot because the greek houses are SO spread out, so I would recommend a pretty sandle if the weather is good and maybe a nice boot with the jeans if the weather is rainy or cold.

Of course the best thing to do is what KSUViolet06 suggests - ask friends who are in chapters. Also, PM WCsweet<3 - she's really the best person to ask for advice on this.

Hope this helps - have fun shopping!
