Like AXiDGrl said, there's nothing wrong with wearing flip-flops if it's philanthropy day and you're wearing shorts & a t-shirt - you certainly wouldn't wear heels then!

Why anyone would take a perfectly adorable sundress or other dress, then add flip flops is beyond me! It just shows a lack of style.

Of course, I keep remembering that a lot of people call them "shower shoes", so I don't like to see them in anything but the most casual clothes.

we've never cut girls based on footwear choice (not that i know of), but think about it -- a lot to most sorority houses have hardwood or tile floors, which can be slippery in flip flops...and you risk that annoying flip flopping sound...also, during recruitment last year i witnessed a PNM walking down the stair, slightly trip a bit, her flip flop broke, and she fell down half a flight of stairs. we didn't make a big deal of it, and she is one of my sisters now...but it was, i'm sure, embarassing to her...flats solve this problem...way to go flats! at my school the first day of recruitment is super casual -- PHC provided T-shirts, jean skirts -- and most girls wear flats or cute, trendy sneakers (think more of streeth sneakers, like pumas, rather than nike shox). and yeah, some where flip flops. and i feel bad for those girls when it rains.
