Biggest Rush Mistakes at any institution

Again, a lot of this is just plain WEATHER issues. Jeans can go in the washer & dryer & don't need to be ironed (well, at least the kind for guys we're talking about don't). Blazers need to be dry cleaned. If you wore any of that - or, on the feminine side, a dress - to a football game up here, you'd be regretting it really quickly, because 8 times out of 10, football games involve rain, snow, mud, hellacious wind, or all of the above. Same with going to a bar - lots of areas up here are hilly and a mess to navigate any time past October.

No doubt, although you might be surprised at how unpleasant dressing up can be on the hot side of things as well. If pure practicality were the concern, the guys especially would wear something else. Sundresses at least can be relatively cool.
