i wanted first dibs, and i know its not my lane and all but here goes:
1. suicide/"Single Intentional Preference": when you intentionally fill in one and only one house on your bid card after prefs. So you would be saying "i would only accept a bid from XYZ house or nothing at all." from what i've read on this board, there are mixed opinions on it. on one hand, if you know what you want, then why not? but on the other hand, you should try to maximize your chances when going through rush/recruitment.
2. id err on the side of caution. not that ive gone through rush or anything, but you dont want to come off as "hoochy." i mean you dont have to wear ankle-length skirts or turtlenecks. but i think a skirt/dress that short would be a bit much. of course campus culture, region, etc comes into play...
but again, im going based on what ive read here on GC. there are many threads on here that address the suicide/SIP issue and the "what not to wear" issue.
sheesh, what an interesting combo for a post.
ETA: phooey, wasnt fast enough.

no cookie for me.
