in general, if your campus sends out recommendations on what to wear, go the dressier end of what they suggest.

For example, at my school for the first day PHA provides a t shirt and suggests you wear shorts or a casual skirt....always go with the skit. and avoid flip flops...not only do they look sloppy (go for cute tennis shoes or sandals over flip flops for a casual day), but they make that annoying "flap-flap" noise while walking, and they break easily if someone accidently steps on the back of it (and if there are 200+ girls leaving a sorority house at the end of a party, it's bound to happen.

Ooh! Thanks! You must be able to read minds because I was about to ask that today. What about those cute open toed flats? Do you think those would be appropriate for rush?

however, if you have acreage to cover on the first couple of recruitment days, you might think about carrying a pair of flip flops to wear while walking from one house to the next-just switch to more appropriate shoes when you arrive at your destination.

This happened to me a lot in DC. I used to ride the metro to work and walk several blocks in heels until I noticed that a lot of other riders were in suits and flip flops or sneakers-- and they had their "work shoes" in a work bag! I finally got the idea and started wearing "metro shoes" before I got to the office....

Unfortunately, people get distracted--- there were so many times when I would be at work 1/2 the day and realized I was still wearing my comfy shoes.... some PNMs might experience this, too, if they have flip flips or sneakers to wear between parties. You get distracted and poof!- midway through prefs you look down and horrors! You're wearing Crocs instead of your sexy black kitten heels.

You mean the ones that are closed like regular flats except the toes stick out? I think those would be perfect.

I guess your SonicWall developers are foot fetishists, then.

I think maybe it's freaking because the word "kiss" is in the URL.
