UF recruitment wardrobe questions

Tropical_Dancer · #1 08-03-2009, 10:06 PM

Hello everyone I tried to do a search on this but I couldnt really find anything. My little sister is going through recruitment at UF and we have been loookin for outfits for the rounds but the pamphlet that she has says that girls should wear shorts and teeshirts for round 1. I know she should be dressier so I was just wondering how dressy, are sundresses the norm for round 1?

I guess I just dont believe the requirements, because it is the SEC. Thanks everyone in advance for all your help!

She should pick the dressiest option on that website, and wear a simple shirt (i.e. nothing with fancy shmancy trim or necklines or distractions in general) and capri pants.

And not to hijack but man, if that blue print dress under Prefs is really an example of something someone would wear to a prom, everything old really IS new again.

I really don't like that the clothes are just lying there. I think they should be on mannequins or a woman so PNMs can see an appropriate length inseam for a short or hem line on a real person. I also like sites that show women of different height and body type looking good in what flatters their bodies.

I am not too crazy about the other pref dress in black and white either. Maybe it looks better on a person but a halter and if it is short with shiny/clingy material, it could not be cute.

i have to agree! i'm going through rush too and i'm really nervous about my outfits. i don't think i'm OVER dressing but the cocktail length dress i'm considering for prefs is considerably fancier than the one's pictured. however the information says that something for homecoming or prom is appropriate.... mixed signals much? lol i'd say mine is somewhere in between the pictures and a prom dress >.> it's a slight gamble. my biggest peeve is dressing lightly because it WILL be hot. >.<

Shame on UF.

Those reference pics are so old. They have been using them for a while now and truly need to be updated.

girls i know who had successful recruitments at uf wore a polo-style shirt and a khaki skirt with flat sandals for first round parties.

i think you should kick it up a notch as far as the pref. party suggestions go-but definately not prom/homecoming route. something you might have worn to an awards night at your school(providing you didn't just show up in whatever), a wedding or nice reception.

It might be a good idea to read the text and avoid looking at those pictures.

After looking at the website, I think the suggestions about polo shirts/simple tops with khaki skirts/capri pants are the way to go. Hollister had some cute skirts the other day....

Tropical Dancer- In addition to helping your sister I know you are getting ready for year 2 at UM. Good luck and have a great year!

thanks everyone for your help, the pictures were just throwing me off I think. My sister has her pref dress, which is also fanicer than the photo GatorGirl19, but we both agree that the dress is way to pretty to not wear again for pref. She also bought a nice, but casual, solid color sundress that she was going to pair with sandals, which I think could work for round two, this is similar to what I wore to my round two but my school is pretty fancy all the time, so I'm still not sure.

kiteflyersmom- thanks so much for the well wishes, I'm so excited for this semester, so I will hopefully have a great year

I think the most helpful source i've seen for this kinds of thing is the video someone posted from Southern Mississippi. In that video, they give two examples per dayof what the girls should wear. But that video also shows a model in jeans. And I know there are a lot of SEC shoolds that aren't to excited about jeans. But thats something you or your sister should determine by UF.

I think the Auburn site has some of the most helpful dress suggestions for recruitment that I have seen. The link is:

It is great that people are providing links for other schools, but I think it is important for each school to provide information specific to their culture, policies, procedures and standards. What is acceptable at one campus may not be at another. Furthermore at least one poster has stated this is old information.

University of Florida, please update your page!

Quoted from the Auburn recruitment website: If you want to wear hose, this might be the day to do it although they are certainly not required.

Would sequined hose be appropriate?
