I think she is fine with nice jeans, but the OP should certainly inquire with the women on her campus with regards to what is appropriate to wear.
umm can i shop with you? i would LOVE to buy $300 on sweats to lounge in.

LOL. I would never waste that money on lounging clothes unless I was a movie star. I don't think it is appropriate to wear sweat suits in any kind of setting other than lounging or traveling. That being said, I'm always looking for shopping buddies!

OP: You have a good head on your shoulders. Good luck at recruitment!

OMG! Pink, I'm so nervous for you! Sometimes pref is awkward (especially if you're paired with inexperienced rushers...i.e. I kinda feel bad for whoever gets me in a pref party!), and you can't really let one meh party completely ruin your perception of an otherwise great group, IMHO (unless there's someone who's completely rude to you or giving you dirty looks, of course!). I hope you end up in a chapter you like, though. It seems like you've clicked with a lot of different people in different groups, so if all else fails, you've met some cool people through rush. Good luck!!!

Don't be discouraged! I know it can be an overwhelming process, but don't think of it as a competition. You shouldn't be comparing yourself to other girls and guessing who is going to get in. If it's truly meant to be, it will happen for you. I understand that they're taking small new member classes, but you never know. You seemed really excited in your previous updates, so just keep your head up. You'll know soon!

Also, you mentioned that you were upset that the girl you really liked didn't pref you...it doesn't always work out this way. Sometimes you get another girl that really liked you or sometimes someone you hardly know. It doesn't mean the other girl didn't love you--that's just how things work out sometimes.

As far as Mascara, it's good for you to be aware of dirty rushing, but as far as not going because your other friends weren't going...like you said, you don't want to influence one another and you think you'll all end up in different sororities...you never know-it could be the one for you. Sometimes you can find an unlikely home in the last place you ever thought to look!

Recruitment is stressful and maybe your friends will have to go through again in the fall or would prefer to do so but remember that you have options this semester and you seem to be enjoying yourself--put your heart into it and I'm sure you'll get something in return! Going Greek is an AMAZING thing and I wouldn't trade my sorority experience for anything in the world...
I hope you find the perfect addition to your make-up case

This has been a really interesting thread to read. Don't worry about being confused. It's actually a good thing. That means you have truly kept an open mind and maximized your options, which is what recruitment is all about.
