Fraternity Party Clothing

I created a thread that said "fratty clothing," and I know those suggestions fit for Rush Events (ex. tour of the house), but I'm not sure if it applies to rush parties too.

Good staples for rush parties?
I just don't want to ruin my sperrys too.

I was thinking express shirt with express jacket. Navy blue jeans and possibly sperrys if not my tennis shoes.

Are there any other suggestions?

Jeans and a t-shirt.

Done.

SN: It blows my mind that people actually "get ready" for parties. I mean, most people leave looking like a trainwreck, so why even try at the start? :P

Just wear clothes! Dear God, I promise you that no fraternity rush chair has a handy little pamphlet on "dressing fratty" and a little checklist that he checks off at every rush event.

A chapter that judges on what you wear should not be a chapter you want to join

It is always better to be over-dressed than under-dressed.

You want to look like you put effort into your appearance, because you care enough about rush to do so. You also want to wear something in which you feel comfortable; ideally, once you leave your dorm, you won't think about it again.

I guess it depends on the campus. If it's an "ultra-fratty" campus, clothing might have an impact, depending on which group you're trying to impress.

At my southern school Ralph Lauren polos, khaki pants, and Sperrys are the standard attire (frattire?).

Well I do want to dress to impress. Can't just walk in with like American Eagle crap and be like hey guys look at me, I'm so fratty right now.
Clearly not.

So the overall suggestion. Polo and khakis and Sperrys for like parties not just rush event where you tour the house but like legitimate dance party.

This whole thread and the OP are just

I've never seen a rushee so overly concerned about attire. If he's not rushing in the SEC, he's freaking out over nothing.

Plus, Sperrys are Sperrys. They're not Guccis. Don't worry if they get liquid on them. They'll be fine.

Seriously. I mean, they're boat shoes; they're made to get wet.

Meanwhile, I detest the word "fratty."

maybe you could wear this style of Sperry and then spills are a non-issue
