A mani/pedi for all sisters just before recruitment might be a good idea tho' ... and a touch-up and polish change just before pref.

You would have gotten me to get a mani/pedi over my dead no-longer-recruiting body, particularly if I had to pay for it. Dream houses are one thing, required services are another.

//also, am I the only one who feels less comfortable with nail polish on? My hands feel wrong like they're always going to get polish on everything.

I've never had a professional mani or pedi, just because I read that one time Paula Abdul went to get her nails done and ended up with a FUNGUS. If it can happen to Paula Abdul, it can happen to me.

Some brands of polish are "heavier" than others. There are also polishes that are sheer. Those might be a little more comfy for you.

I should have clarified. I meant the cosmetologist would be available for a couple of days just prior to recruitment (as opposed to the normal once-a-week / twice-a-month / whatever schedule) so that sisters who chose to have a professional manicure, pedicure, or both - with or without polish - could get one. Same for sisters who wanted a haircut, wanted their eyebrows done, whatever.

There have been threads in the recruitment forums about how some chapters have crazy strict rules for their sisters about outfits, hair, makeup, etc. My chapter was more toward the lenient end (although there was the year that our rush chair demanded we buy brand-new name-brand Keds for round 1, and then whined afterwards because her feet hurt ) - our outfits had to be approved, but as far as hair and makeup went, as long as you didn't look like (a) you'd just rolled out of bed or (b) you should be working a corner, we could do pretty much whatever we wanted.

As for the money issue, this is a dream sorority house, so sisters don't have to pay - the money comes out of thin air.
