Eightisgreat, it's good to plan early, since there are some things that you can count on needing.
- Solid white dress, not low cut or too short. If strapless, get a solid white shrug or cardigan. Many groups require white garb for certain ritual events, and I have heard lately of several groups being very specific as to modesty requirements.
- Encourage her to get a beautiful, elegant cocktail dress for prom rather than a long prom-y dress. It can be worn for pref.
- SEC sorority girls dress up for football games. If she is going south to school, look for sundresses and cooler weather dresses appropriate for tailgates and games (in school colors too)
- A great little black dress will get a lot of use in college. Some schools encourage the PNMs to wear black at pref, some schools, the actives often wear black for pref.
We found that my God daughter's recruitment at SC was not all that stressful clothes-wise, since they wore Panhellenic-issued "go Greek" T shirts for the first two rounds with flipflops. Third round sundress and Pref cocktail dress (her sr. year prom dress) rounded out the week.
