Rules regarding appearance

[bejazd]

Seriously. If you want destroy the sisterhood in your chapter, start making up stupid rules about appearance.

On the other hand, learning how to dress/present yourself professionally, especially in the business casual environment where the rules are hard to define, can be a real benefit of sorority membership. Look at how many people end up on What Not To Wear because they never really had any experiences or guidance to learn how to present themselves! (I love that show. The participants are always so good natured about it. I hope I'd take their criticism so well!)

I was watching the WNTW behind the scenes episode and they said that lots of times nominees do say no to them. When that happens, they look for people in NYC who were nominated. So when you see an episode about someone from New York, it's usually because the person who was actually supposed to be on it backed out.

I think I saw that one too. I'm sure there are people who just can't do that on nat'l tv for a variety of reasons. Does anyone know if Stacy London is a NPC member? I think she has multiple degrees in Int'l business and finance or something. She's so hard core I'm sure I'd be bawling but she really does seem to care about the participants.

She went to Vassar for undergrad in Philosophy and German. I don't think they have a Greek system there.

I would so love to post pictures of some of the women who apply here. You simply would not believe what some women consider as "appropriate attire"! There's one nurse who is simply excellent at her job, but she has the biggest honking tattoo that turns our elderly clients off instantly!!

I have some clients with tattoos that scare me! But I still take their money.

I did have a woman with a doctorate come in for an interview on a Saturday wearing cargo pants and flip flops. OK, we are by the beach but that does not fly. At all. needless to say, she wasn't a greek, and she didn't get the job, despite being a nice person and qualified.

Thanks, AlphaFrog. I didn't see anything noted in the "similar thread" section below so I didn't search for anything old. I checked out the old threads and am surprised at how many people have tattoos and piercings. I guess I just associate Greeks with a more conservative image.
