jeni, you ARE precious!!

i could imagine it all in my mind, but in my imagination you were marsha brady, and after (you) marsha fell, she wails, "now i'll never be a (insert appropriate sorority here)". then i saw the recruitment counselor stepping over you, turning around and asking,"are you okay?" then gathering up her other pnms and sticking to the schedule.

i know at the time it was awful-and painful!! it sounds like you were a real trooper, and you advice was "spot" on!!(sorry, i couldn't resist)

*Anything with the potential to become transparent when wet. It might rain.

Along those lines--make sure your undergarments are always appropriate for your outfit, rain or shine!

I don't know if it's been said before, but don't be afraid to ask your rho chi (or recruitment counselor) if your outfit is appropriate for that day.

Also, since our houses were about a 10-15 minute walk from our doors, I wore flip flips and carried my heels with me (definitely saved my feet). We were able to leave our shoes with our rho chis when we went in the individual houses for parties.

Inspired by the leggings debate in the What to Wear to Rush thread: what are some things that you think are unacceptable to wear to rush? I'll start.

*skirts so short that everyone can see your business
*shirts that are low-cut (especially if you have a large chest)
*Crocs

*anything wrinkled, dirty, or otherwise sloppy/messy

OK granted I had not planned on wearing Crocs expect maybe on bid day but now I am planning on wearing something else. But my question is why not Crocs? Do they really make that bad of an impression on people? I personally think they are adorable and LOVE them, but opted to wear heels for the 1st day of recruitment.

They're just not the most attractive footwear in the world (especially the bright colors). IMO, if you want something comfortable, I'd go with flip flops over Crocs.

Please do not carry any type of fake "designer" handbag.

Don't wear perfume. Some overdo their scent, others are allergic. Soap and deodarant are fine.

Nails and Toes: stick with clear polish, neutral colors or an American or French mani/pedi. Black or electric orange are just a little too much.

No overly baggy jeans or ripped hems.

Please don't wear "chains" on your slacks, unless you want to make it onto Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed List.

Recruitment is about showing your unique qualities and individuality, but it is also a time to show you fit in well with a group. You can still stand out without looking drastically different.
