I am planning on longer shorts that are very classic in neutrals since I don't know the color of the T-shirts. I would not do denim because I think that is too casual. For shoes I was considering Sperrys or Toms, but are they too casual for the South? I want to be comfortable, but I also have dressier sandals I could wear. I know this is a trival issue, so thanks for humoring me.

You can get away with Toms at Arkansas. Some chapters are caught up in the fancy shmancy girls, but several are not. Arkansas is a little different I feel like from the rest of the SEC schools. During the first two rounds we really stress feeling comfortable, so whatever makes you feel the best wear that. Of course its important to be clean and neat, but it has been in the 100s and you spend a lot of time walking/waiting outside, so everyone is gross by the end of the day (including the actives inside). You will see girls in a broad spectrum of different choices, from wedges to Chacos. I honestly love the girls who come in natural and low maintenance. Please do NOT belt your tshirts. I honestly would rather see a girl come in in comfortable clothes, than overdone with a belt over a tshirt. Our gamma chis actually put on skits about overdoing the tshirts during recruitment. PNMs think it helps them standout, when in reality most of the actives this it is quite silly looking. Go in neat and clean and you'll be fine. JCrew/Gap has nicer looking shorts so you don't go in looking sloppy.
