As a person going into a very conservative profession (law), I've been broadsided with all kinds of interview books, pamphlets, websites, advice, etc.
Some things are just risky on how they can affect your first impression. Some things aren't considered appropriate in certain areas of the world or certain professions. Walk into a courtroom with facial piercings or even in a bright purple polka dot business suit, see if the judge takes you seriously.
Conformity may suck, but to a degree, it's how the world works. Rush is one big interview with many many people.
And if she already has an idea that it may be distracting or thinking that she shouldn't do it, then she has already examined the culture and process, etc. of how it works.
Always err on the side of conservative when you're indecisive on things. Especially when it comes to clothing and appearances.
This may piss some people off, it's something that I used to not agree with, but it's reality.

terviewing for a job and for membership in a glo are two different things.....but that's a new thread.
Basically I find it funny that so many greek orgs pride on the fact that "diversity" exists in the chapter. Yet, how is the "diversity" measured? By the degree of varying majors in the house? By the different activities people are a part of?
If people are all expected to act a certain way and look a certain way and be a certain way when rushing, where is the diversity? Where is the individuality? Does it even exist? Is it lost? If it is lost, is it found later on?
And for the record, a girl that I work with who is actually a manager of one of our branches has her nose pierced. She went to the interview with it, she was hired, and she wears it at work. There has never been a problem with it. Hell, I"m allowed to wear my earings at work and I wore them when I interviewed two years ago as well.....
But if this is the "elite LSU" we are talking about, I guess you should take it out?
So glad I don't go to school there
Sorry, I'm not hating on any resident LSU students...buy DAYUM....
