Noslen- I can't offer much help other than this which, if you are from the NW you know already - plan for rain. A good general rule of thumb is....think layers so you are prepared for any possibility other than snow and make sure you have an umbrella (normally not something we like to do in these parts but in this case it is necessary).

I'm sure there are people on here who could give you great advice if they knew the school (I have a pretty good idea, but my lips are sealed unless you want to say).

The only other thing I'd add without knowing where you are from is that the west coast is casual, of course, and that's particularly true in the NW.

Dubais Sis - I don't think she has deferred rush. Most of the schools in the NW (except WSU) are on the quarter system and start around the 3rd week in September (maybe there's a smaller school I've missed that starts in August and rushes September), but otherwise Noslen - listen to Dubais Sis - good advice.

I don't think that your school has website pictures of outfits though. Very few up here do that (unfortunately), and if you going where I think you're going - I couldn't find any for your school, but I may not have been looking in the right place.
