Recruitment at a Midwest school

[Benzgirl]

Every school is different in the way they conduct recruitment. Now, you do see more "open houses" where you can come and go as you please. After this round, its very structured though.

Last fall, I helped during First Round (aka Open House) at a liberal arts college in the Northern Ohio. Actives from all houses wore the same T Shirts, with jeans, jean skirts, and jean shorts. Mostly shorts since it was very hot. I saw a lot of flip flops, tennis shoes and cute shoes. PNMs were dressed very similarly, without the matching Ts.

Is it competitive? Depends on the school. Some, like DePauw (which is deferred) is very competitive. Some are not.

I go to a northern Ohio school and honestly, I can't think of a recruitment in the area that is competitive. Generally, most girls who participate and are open-minded about each sorority do receive bids (though there are no 100% guarantees of course).

You could probably get away with wearing flip flops at my school to the first 2 days (round one and philanthropy), but I would recommend stepping it up just a notch and going with a cute sandal and sundress as opposed to tees/jeans/flip flops. It may say tees/jeans/flip flops, but in my experience, I'd say that most of the girls usually wore a cute skirt/sundress and nicer sandals instead.
