re-rushing as a sophomore @ UF

[uf15]

I saw in another thread someone was talking about being "too tan". Is that really an issue? I tan really easily so should I stay out of the sun before rush? Last year I didn't spray tan, but I did lay out before...but with my coloring I think it looks fine.

Do you think that I shouldn't mention my mom's cancer? She's just such a big part of my life I can't imagine meeting people and not talking about her. I mean, I don't get weepy or anything when I mention the cancer, she's in remission now and looking great!

I'd stay out of the sun because I'm concerned about sunburns and skin damage, regardless of how it makes me look. My personal thing is to avoid tanning (real or fake) because I believe I look amazing the way I already am, even if there wasn't a health risk involved I wouldn't do it. I don't color my hair or wear colored contacts either because it just doesn't jive with my personality or how I want to present myself to the world.

I don't often mention the cancer that took my relatives as sometimes the emotions take over and I can't control it. I have only mentioned it in relation to why I wasn't in school or why I changed schools, and then move on with the conversation.

It's an issue if you look like an Oompa Loompa. (I think that happens more with self tanners or spray tan.) You also don't want your skin to be dry or peeling. A little color is fine, but don't get so much that you totally have to change up your makeup and don't know what you're doing as far as that's concerned right before rush.

This picture is a good example of what not to do at rush, tan, clothing, and jewelry.

There is nothing attractive about boobs popping out of your bra either (at any time not just during recruitment). Please make sure yours fit properly underneath your clothing.
