[QUOTE=aephi alum;2071285]Better to be a bit overdressed than underdressed. Example: If the suggestions for a particular round of recruitment say "jeans or slacks" wear slacks.
I concur with AEPhi Alum, though I would use the term "conservative" rather than "overdressed." Back in my college days (pre-internet for advice) you saw two unfortunate trends:
1. Girls who dressed like they were trying to impress the fraternity guys (due in part, I think, to the fact our fraternities had large summer recruitment events in the larger cities in our state, where PNM's who had not been exposed to normal campus life saw girls from sororities dressed...less conservatively, often because of the heat and humidty). Some girls could carry it off. Some really couldn't.
2. Girls from rural areas who did not have anyone with up to date info advising them what to wear. Our "rush brochures" had suggested pictures for each round, but in retrospect they probably weren't that helpful. Some of the poor girls clearly felt very out of place, which probably made them that much more awkward during the open house events, which led to bad conversations, etc.
