OK, when I first read this, I thought you were talking about something like this and was going to say "what has this poor girl done to you that you're trying to destroy her rush?"

Then I realized you meant something more like this.

LOL

While we are on this topic, I will share a story of WHAT NOT TO WEAR to a recruitment event.... (which is also under the Weird Recruitment Stories Thread)

We had close to 400 girls go through spring formal recruitment. The whether was on the chilly side since it was January, so girls weren't super dressed up, but still usually looked very nice. Elon often pushed girls to make sure their name tags were noticable or that they would wear something to make them stand out - esp. if you had a common name. (One year we had 2 Megan Rogers, 2 Ashley Browns and a Tess & Jess Fowler -- no relation, etc.).

In 1999 we had a PNM come through recruitment during first round. She was decked out in Pink! She had a pink shirt on, pink legging pants (you know, the kind you wore in elementry school when they were cool!), white socks with pink pom poms on them, and pink flats. To top it off she was wearing a "pink ladies" jacket...ya know, from Greese! And all she talked about was how she wanted to be a pink lady! (i don't know if she realized she was in the AZD house and we have nothing to do with the color pink except for our rose!) Needless to say, she was cut from everyone...even from Phi Mu.

So I implore PNMs: Do not do something like this to get a sororities attention!!!

LOL! I had a girl tell me last year (after finding out pink was one of Phi Mu's colors) during recruitment that she was going to suicide us because pink is her favorite color. I mean, pink is my favorite color too...but still...

PS, i love a girl in stretchy pants.

I think black is a great colors to start with, but I would be a little creeped out if a girl came to our party in all Black and Gold....

Anyways, remember that you will not always have time to change between parties and you want to wear something each round that will showcase you as an individual!

Wear something that you would normally wear but more dressy. Wearing something like their exact colors in my opinion will distract from you. They already like their colors, they are trying to decide if you are for them. In addition, don't wear things that you would not normally wear like hats, head to toe pink, exaggerated makeup. This is not a time to experiment. One time this girl wore a very strange hat and all I could remember about her was her hat. Let your personality make the statement rather than strange fashion. Wear what makes you feel most confident and most like you because it is such a exciting and nervous time that you want to feel good in your own skin.
