You'll have to excuse my post, it may have been misleading (I'm on percocet right now, so it may be somewhat disjointed).
I like to dress nicely-sometimes. And like most normal people, I like to look somewhat put together, and not appear in public looking a total mess.
I certainly like to look nice when occasion calls for it, but I just don't want people to think that I wear makeup all the time (I have sensitive skin, so there are more days where I don't, than where I do wear makeup).
As for working? I'm a nursing major. A great thing about nursing is the ability to wear comfortable clothing (scrubs) to work and have no one think anything of it.
I'm tomboyish, but at the same time, there's nothing I like more than dress shopping
I don't plan on showing up looking sloppy, but I just don't want people to get used to me in what I do wear
As to your other question-I COB'd this fall at my wonderful ex-roommate's sorority (there is no sarcasm there; I love Ashley, she's one of my best friends, and helped change my opinion of Greek life in general.) There were 3 events, I showed up for two, and they ultimately decided that only girls who showed up for 3 would be voted on, as they couldn't make a decision on girls they'd talked to for maybe 3 hours. I felt this was fair.
Because I'm transferring, I won't be going for Spring recruitment here, as I hope to be elsewhere for the spring semester. Otherwise, I'm considering rush for the spring if I stay here.
I hope I was not in any way insulting or insinuating towards sororities in my original post. I just want to maintain a strong sense of personal identity and I don't want to compromise that by misrepresenting myself. I understand this doesn't mean I can't dress up a little.
Thanks for your answer
