Is there a specific "look" in order to be recruited?

My cousin was in Kappa Kappa Gamma when she was in college and I asked her what you have to look like to get into a sorority and basically all she told me was "you have to be cute, smart, funny, and personable". Sooo...that didn't really help me.

I'm transferring to a really laid back college (think hippy town) for next year. I really want to rush, however, I'm not quite how to "look". I know they look for natural looks, or so I've read. I compete in pageants, so I'm used to getting ready almost everyday. Usually, for me, that means eyes (shadow, mascara, and I also have lash extensions), face (concealer, foundation, powder, bronzer, blush, and highlighter), and then hair (I have itip permanent 18" extensions that I get done every 4 months). Although I may wear *alot* of makeup, it's usually always natural looking and never over done. I also dress very nicely almost everyday, so that means like skirts and dresses (that are all fingertip length. Modest is hottest!) I only own like one pair of jeans and hardly ever wear them because I live in a really hot state. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, would any of this come across as "fake" during rush? I don't want people to think I'm trying too hard because that's genuinely how I dress almost everyday. It's not that I'm trying too hard or anything or have no confidence because of the amount of make up I wear, It's just the fact that I love putting it on and getting ready and feeling like girly and what not. I'd be perfectly ok with wearing yoga pants, my hair in a pony tail, and no make up for a day...or a week.

Also, what do people look for in a pledge? I have a 3.9 gpa, I will be transferring in as a sophomore, I'm double majoring, I've been a figure skater almost all my life and have been coaching skating since I was 11, with almost 10 years of volunteer work under my belt, and I also graduated high school a year early. I'm kind of shy at first, but I'm not afraid to go up to someone and initiate conversation and I'm also good at small talk and acting interested/engaged without coming off as fake.

I hope none of that sounded like I was bragging about myself! I just didn't know what to say haha I don't think I've ever typed that much about myself ever.
