Some fashion advice...

[Soliloquy]

Well, since all of you wonderful sorority women know first hand about fashion statements during recruitment, I hope that you wouldn't mind offering some guidance!

Days 1 & 2 are easy, I have that in the bag. However, I need a sundress, cocktail dress, and a white bid day dress.

This is what I am thinking of:

Sundress:

With a cardigan, if I can find a pink one that matches that.


Cocktail:




Bid Day:



Back of this dress (too cute to not show!!)



If you happen to be surfing the net.. and maybe just happen to stumble upon a cute dress that fits what I need... feel free to post it

Looks good. I like the burgundy cocktail dress better for pref (although the pink and black mesh is very pretty, but I don't think it looks like a pref dress). I like the second white dress. It's more conservative and classic. Plus, you don't want to be attaching a pin to mesh.

I like the burgandy one better as well, but I was concerned it might be "too old" for me.

I don't think it's too old for our age group, but if it is too old for your style then don't get it. I just tend to think of a sleek, simple dress as a pref dress, and something that is not black!

I really like the burgundy cocktail dress and both bid day dresses. I'm not a huge fan of the sundress though. It might be just a personal preference, but I'm not a fan of spaghetti straps at all (in a recruitment situation). It is a cute dress in general though!

What type of sundress do most soroities prefer?

I think that depends on the campus. What I believe raincoat is saying is that your dress should have thicker straps, i.e. wide enough to cover your bra straps. With spaghetti straps, either the girls are hanging free (inappropriate for rush) or you have to wear a strapless bra (not always comfy).

At some schools, though, people might not care - I remember girls on here talking about wearing strapless.

Def the burgundy and the second white dress - the other two dresses look more like something you would wear to a formal.

I second everything here.

And I do like the sundress.

the burgundy looks classy, and i think the second bid day dress is really cute and has that timeless sort of look

the sundress is cute, and i think with a cardigan over it it'd look even cuter

The second white dress is definitely the way to go, especially since you'll be wearing it probably once or twice a year if you initiate into a GLO.

Very true...that top one would not be appropriate for a late fall/winter ceremony...

Also, the top one appears to have a pink-ish skirt...some GLOs (or individual chapters) won't mind, but others are strict about NO COLOR.
