Ha...in 1993, LSU still had some non-airconditioned dorms. I remember going to Tiger day my senior year and coming home all excited to live in this beautiful dorm with 10 foot tall wooden doors and wooden furniture in huge rooms....but no air conditioning. My mom laughed at me when I insisted that it was not hot. She reminded me that it was just April. August in Baton Rouge would be a completely different story! I didn't end up going to LSU after all, but she broke my heart.

Reading this thread has got me thinking about what I wore in 2001 at Auburn. I wasn't much in to fasion (still not, really), so I just wore what I already had in my closet.

Round 1, Ice Water Teas. 15 chapters over 2 days.
Day 1 (8 parties)

Lavender and baby blue striped sleeveless sweater and white capris pants.

Day 2 (7 parties)

Hot pink, short sleeved, fitted cotton shirt and black capris pants.

I can't remember what shoes I wore. But I remember they were cute, but uncomfortable, so I wore comfy flip-flops between parties. I don't remember any other PNMs doing this. My roomate didn't either, and she had the NASIEST blisters by skit day!

Round 2, Philanthropy
Day 3 (10? parties)

Panhellenic T-shirt (Navy Blue) and khaki shorts and runing shoes and tube socks.

Round 3, Skit
Day 4 (5 parties)

Pink print chiffon sundress cut on the bias with diagonal hem and spagetti straps. 2 inch, off-white, satin strappy sandals.

Round 5, Pref
Day 5 (3 parties)

This one, looking back, probably wan't a very good choice. I think I may have committed a HUGH fasion faux pas. You know those mix-and-match evening gowns where you buy the top and bottom seperately? I found this black satin top with a 3 inch white satin border at the top and white spagetti straps. The top was ok, and fit really nicely on me. But I wore it with a black cotton-blend stretch pencil skirt. Looking back I probably shouldn't have mixed fabrics like that! The good news is it was pref, so the lights were dimmed. I'm sure my hostess didn't notice.
