My daughter and have enjoyed looking at these old rush guides...which are a real hoot. I realized that there was only 23 years between 1958 and my rush in 1981...and 31 years between her rush and mine. The difference in clothing between 1958 and 1981 is sooooo dramatic, but there really wasn't much difference in attire between her rush and mine. If anything, her's was a bit more formal. I think we wore pants/preppy attire for the first rounds, whereas she wore dresses after the first round, and we didn't wear the heels the girls wear now.
She said, "you can really see the difference the 'women's revolution' made." She also noted that the undergarments under these 1958 outfits would have been horrible...girdles (not Spanx...in her words, "it would have been like having another set of clothing underneath your clothing!"), garter belts, hose, etc.
