For our recruitment outfits we usually have one shirt (one year it was two) that everyone must buy. For the rest of the clothing we have guidelines (for example, medium color jeans, black skirt, twinset) and let everyone in the chapter get what works best for them. In THEORY this is a wonderful idea (everything fits and we don't look so cookie cutter), but it is really hard to tell a girl that part of her outfit isn't acceptable during dress checks! One of the things we contemplated doing is selecting a few types of jeans, skirts, or whatever the items are and letting the people in the chapter pick from those... but this gets stickybecause people already have a pair of jeans they want to wear or they think that the shirt/dress/whatever is too expensive. I'm trying to finalize our clothing list right now (we have deferred recruitment) and it has been a huge headache!

Yeah, that's we do. Our recruitment chair will go out to a bunch of stores and then pick say a pair of shorts from 3 stores and say you must have one of these 3 pairs. The stores range in how they fit and how pricey they are. It makes dress checks really easy because if you don't have the right thing then we just say sorry we told you and then make them get the correct piece. As for making people buy something they may already have....It's just something that they have to do, it's part of being greek at the UA....
