Ok, to cover two fronts.
Polos are acceptable, but if it doesn't look presentable we can send you home to change clothes. Basically what that means is to wear a non-faded polo with a traditional collar (not a floppy one) tucked in fully. We don't make pledges wear certain brands, but there are some that they are usually going to get sent home to change for wearing (AE, Hollister, Abercrombie, etc.) because they generally have a "distressed" look or whatever which takes away the whole point of dressing nice.
And for cargos, the closest I'll come to wearing cargos are some fishing shorts which tend to be fairly short in length, cut more snug than most shorts, but have flat pockets on the side. I don't have a problem with people wearing those (I think most any other cargos look bad though), but pledges have to stick to either normal shorts or long pants. It looks silly to wear fishing shorts with a collar is the main reason.
