On the other hand, learning how to dress/present yourself professionally, especially in the business casual environment where the rules are hard to define, can be a real benefit of sorority membership. Look at how many people end up on What Not To Wear because they never really had any experiences or guidance to learn how to present themselves! (I love that show. The participants are always so good natured about it. I hope I'd take their criticism so well!)

I would so love to post pictures of some of the women who apply here. You simply would not believe what some women consider as "appropriate attire"! There's one nurse who is simply excellent at her job, but she has the biggest honking tattoo that turns our elderly clients off instantly!!

I have some clients with tattoos that scare me! But I still take their money.

I did have a woman with a doctorate come in for an interview on a Saturday wearing cargo pants and flip flops. OK, we are by the beach but that does not fly. At all. needless to say, she wasn't a greek, and she didn't get the job, despite being a nice person and qualified.

Thanks, AlphaFrog. I didn't see anything noted in the "similar thread" section below so I didn't search for anything old. I checked out the old threads and am surprised at how many people have tattoos and piercings. I guess I just associate Greeks with a more conservative image.
