my vote
I would NEVER wear pantyhose with open toed shoes!! Though I haven't seen the toe-less variety, so I cannot judge that.
At any rate, while pref may start at 4 pm, it's going to end in the evening, at most schools. Therefore, hose in the evening under a formal dress (such as you would wear to prom) is acceptable, and in my opinion expected, for a formal event so that you look completely pulled together. I sat in my pantyhose in the Florida heat, I've braved it for 5 years now through Recruitment, and in the idea of putting your best foot forward (since we all know we feel and act different when dressed up) then I don't think it's too brutal to put up with for those few hours to make a good impression. This is the last time the chapters will see you before making decisions and I would want to make myself look as "together" as possible. Not that all of Recruitment comes down to pantyhose on Pref night by any means, but that's just how I see it. Furthermore, if you're putting on a fancy dress, have your nails and hair looking their best, nice shoes, etc., don't you feel like something's missing when your legs are bare like you're wearing shorts. I just feel that pantyhose are a requirement for formal attire regardless the time of day.
And by the way, my entire chapter will be wearing pantyhose in the blazing Florida heat for Pref night, so yes it can be done and you can survive it!!
