'No Frumpy': Cornell Sorority Forbids American Apparel Leggings, etc.

I kind of want to send this to our chapter and ask them to take it seriously. Except for the boots with dresses thing for pref. She's got to be kidding about that.
Otherwise, she's basically asking girls to look their best; it seems like there's some good advice in here.

This doesn't look out of the ordinary. My daughter is an active at a school with a deferred recruitment. Each year, the Recruitment VP issued clothing/accesseries lists before summer break. The members had to show their recruitment outfits before Thanksgiving (I suppose so they could shop when they were home). My D said there was a second approval period between T'day and Christmas Breaks for the girls who had needed to replace certain items.

Reminds me of Jen Lancaster's recounting of her days as a "recruitment Nazi" in her undergrad Pi Phi days! (She wrote "Bitter is the New Black", "Such a Pretty Fat")

This is cocktail in butt ass cold NY State. I have the feeling it's more sheath dresses with sleeves that you dress up with jewelry than the teeny things that are usually "cocktail." And with those...high boots don't look bad.

They probably get both at once as a matter of course. Also, pedis are not just polishing the toes - they're also for making sure you don't have lizard feet. Lizard feet show through tights and hose.
