Here's a thread about what different sororities wore:

I remember reading that thread, but I didn't think at the time what each of those description probably mean in terms of directions about what to buy.

It's just kind of strange perspective to have: talking to the mom about what her kid needs to buy. And of course the kid probably just presented it to her that way: look at this list, mom, you need to buy me all this stuff. (The kid is a great kid; I don't mean anything critical. I just think that is probably the way it went down. I probably would have done the same thing at her age.)

I bet if you ask any of the moms of college-age girls, they will tell you their D's said exactly that! "I NEED ___!" When my D went throught recruitment, the recommended dress for the rushees was Day 1: "really good (not stated but most definitely implied) jeans and polo; Day 2 dress slacks and top; Day 3 skirt and top OR dress; Day 4 Cocktail dress that didn't show too much skin IYKWIM. Every single one of the rushees in D's group (including my D because thank goodness we took the GC advice about kicking it up a notch) revved up the dressiness factor by a bit.

So I guess we have another round of shopping to do.....
