Maybe it is just because my chapter is highly isolated from the rest of the greek world, but we don't put that much emphasis on dress code. We like to focus on getting to know our pnm's as people, rather than as fashion models.

HI There,
Phi Sig is the only NPC on our campus so we don't do fomal recruitment either. But most of the surrounding schools near us have formal recruitment as well. I've been at recruitment for Theta Upsilon Chapter and from what I've seen when you have a few hundred women going through recruitment and you can only invite back a limited number you need to take everything in to consideration, including dress style. Plus in formal recruitment you only have 20-45 minutes to meet these women each day and then vote on who to invite back. Distinctive clothing helps remind you of some people.
After seeing formal recruitment part of me wishes we weren't the only NPC at CSUDH but the other part of me likes being able to do informal and COB continously without worries. The part that wants more formal recruitment wants it so that there's more structure since there are other sororities on campus who would then have to follow NPC recruitment rules.
