Plenty of college applicants are passed up for being too sexy or dressing like they are going to a night club instead of a job interview! Same goes for girls wearing summer fashion in the winter and fall.
Sorority recruitment has always been compared to a job interview. Girls need to put their best foot forward. You would have serious questions if a girls came into your house on first round looking like she is dressed for the bars. Wouldn't you?
First impressions are critical!

I wore lime green chucks to work today. Our hiring manager complimented me on them and my boss looks to see which chucks and/or crazy colored hand knit socks I wear when she's in the office. I've been on a faster promotion schedule than most in my office.
