At Auburn during Philanthropy round (2 days) the PNMs all wear the same shirt, provided by Panhellenic.

I love the Panhellenic t-shirts for PNMs during recruitment. UCF doesn't do that. They give the girls t-shirts for registering, but they're never required to wear them. It just seems like a nice way to begin the week on a somewhat more equal playing ground.

That's cool that they've change that. You used to get all of that stuff at Greek Forum. On bid day, some girls would wear them and some wouldn't. I like the uniform look and I was implying that using them earlier in the week would be a nice addition to a no-frills recruitment.

The matching shirts are a great idea... as long as Panhellenic doesn't ask the PNMs to wear them during Round 1! It would be impossible to remember what girls you met if they were all wearing the same shirt, I think.

You would actually be surprised. Like DeltaBetaBaby said, the girls pick their own accessories, bottom half of the outfit, and shoes. Plus the PNM decorate thieir nametags to reflect them...or at least you hope there is something that will be distinguishable. Are there a lot of girls to remember? Oh yes! But that means you're concentrating on the nametag (which obviously, name!) and the other accessories they picked to be unique.

We had two days of round 1 open house, and we had to wear our green shirts the first day, and our white shirts the second day, AND our name tags were made by panhel so they were all the same!

Wow, um...they tried to make it real easy for you didn't they?

At least you got to wear two different shirts for round 1, the women in the houses had to wear the same blue shirt two days in a row! I honestly think that this is a result of UK not being used to having round 1 in two days. Girls were changing shirts between groups & on breaks to try and keep their one blue one clean. Hopefully PHC will reconsider for next year.
