I'm rushing this fall at a university that only has 3 sororities.

I know it's a lot more competitive here, though, because a large number of girls rush and don't get bids, due to the fact that we only have 3 sororities here.

My question is, none of the women in my family have gone through rush before, and while I've been given a basic schedule of events, examples of outfits to wear, etc, I am still incredibly nervous! I've read through most of the stickys around here, but I'm still nervous about a couple things:

1. I know clothing and outfits matter, but will it really affect my chances if I'm slightly under/over dressed? I tend to be bad at picking out outfits, although I do have friends helping me just to be sure.

2. Just any general advice on rushing at a smaller school/school with fewer chapters? I hear it can be fairly competitive around here, and while I'm really excited, I'm also incredibly nervous I won't get a bid. I know it's not the end of the world if I don't, but I guess I just need some calming words from ladies who've been through it before so I'll actually listen and calm down.

Thank you all so much!
Better to be a bit overdressed than underdressed. Example: If the suggestions for a particular round of recruitment say "jeans or slacks" wear slacks.

Go in with an open mind, as you have already said.

Hope all goes well for you.
