While we are on this topic, I will share a story of WHAT NOT TO WEAR to a recruitment event.... (which is also under the Weird Recruitment Stories Thread)
We had close to 400 girls go through spring formal recruitment. The whether was on the chilly side since it was January, so girls weren't super dressed up, but still usually looked very nice. Elon often pushed girls to make sure their name tags were noticable or that they would wear something to make them stand out - esp. if you had a common name. (One year we had 2 Megan Rogers, 2 Ashley Browns and a Tess & Jess Fowler -- no relation, etc.).
In 1999 we had a PNM come through recruitment during first round. She was decked out in Pink! She had a pink shirt on, pink legging pants (you know, the kind you wore in elementry school when they were cool!), white socks with pink pom poms on them, and pink flats. To top it off she was wearing a "pink ladies" jacket...ya know, from Greese! And all she talked about was how she wanted to be a pink lady! (i don't know if she realized she was in the AZD house and we have nothing to do with the color pink except for our rose!) Needless to say, she was cut from everyone...even from Phi Mu.
So I implore PNMs: Do not do something like this to get a sororities attention!!!
