I am an LSU sorority alumni. I gradutated in 1999. Even though that was a few years ago, I definitely remember the fashion do's and don'ts. (In fact, they're ingrained in my head!) Your cousin should use whatever packet she was given for dress code on each day as a general guideline. The strapless dress should be ok, as long as it does not show too much cleavage or is too short. The sororities at LSU are big on being "cute" and in style, but not overly trendy. She shouldn't show up in anything that is too tight, too revealing, etc., but it sounds like she should be ok if she bought things that are more on the conservative side. Her hair and make-up should be nice and not over the top. We never made any judgements on whether or not rushees wear watches, in fact, it makes sense to do so - so that you're not late to any of the parties. (The sorority members themselves are not allowed to wear watches though.) Also tell her not to wear any perfume, at least during the Ice Water parties and maybe round 2. With a lot of girls in a room at one time, it can give everyone headaches... Let me know if you have any other questions!
