I thought more about your suit. If I were starting college, and this was my only suit, I'd get a solid dark navy suit that is single breasted and vented. The reason is that there may be occasions where your fraternity requires that "everyone come to this event in a navy blazer and khakis." When that happens, you can put on your navy suit jacket and a pair of khakis.
With regard to dress shirts, I'd stick with plain, heavy weight, all cotton oxford cloth shirts with button down collars. I hate blends because they are less comfortable. Especially when it gets hot. Counterintuitively, you want a heavier weight for when it gets hot. Why? Because visible perspiration is harder to see. There is a reason why broad cloth shirts are more popular in the North, and the heavier oxford cloth shirts are more popular in the South, and perspiration is that reason. Short sleeve should be avoided, and I agree with what was already posted about it. Stay collars, including Ainsley Spread collars are classy, but probably too dressy for college. Same with the french cuffs. If you only buy one shirt, make sure it is white. If you buy two, buy one white, and one blue. If you buy three, buy two white and one blue. After that, do what you want. Also, pinpoint oxford cloth is a very nice touch, but it costs more. Its a great way for people in warmer climates to have a dressier shirt, and not have visible perspiration.
