boots to one of the rush days?

I've seen people give unsolicited opinions on GC for far worse subjects than a guy giving a PNM his opinion on recruitment clothing. OK, so maybe recruitment is one of the times when we ladies don't dress to impress the male species. I still feel that dekeguy had every right to give his opinon.

I have loved all of the dresses posted in this thread -- especially those from Dubai Sis and ree-xi. I think that the OP has gotten some valuable information on what to consider while choosing recruitment clothes.

We NPC members may not agree on outfits, but we're all well within our knowledge and right to give "regional" opinions about what would or would not be appropriate for our regions, having gone through dress checks as collegians ourselves.

So, it is appropriate for your half of the human race to comment on 'guy centric' topics but inappropriate for me to offer what is meant as a bit of helpful thought to a 'girl centric' topic? What is that word that comes to mind just now? Oh yes, SEXIST. Was that the point I was supposed to get.

barbino,

Thank you very much for your fair minded and generous comment. I do appreciate your words. I was somewhat surprised by the negative reactions by some toward what was intended to be helpful. Observing my sister and her friends dress styles I got the distinct impression that the proposed outfit might have had a negative effect on the prospective's chances based on how little time was available for anyone to really get to know her. I figured it was time for her to stick by the old saying 'put your best foot forward'.
Again, thank you.

If fraternity members want to tell sorority members to stay in their lane in regard to fraternity rush, that's their right. I am telling you now, stay in your lane. Women dressing for sorority rush are not dressing for dudes. Furthermore, I don't see how comments like "pond life" EVEN IF YOUR SISTER SAID IT are helpful.

Also, blow me on the sexism front.

Remind me please where anything was said about her 'dressing for dudes'. I seem to recall this was all about a suggestion that the outfit might not work to her best advantage during rush where her judges would be female. My sister's comment is her opinion and I don't see what your opinion of whether it is helpful or not has anything to do with anything other than your opinion.

As to telling sorority members to stay in their lane, why? Suggestions, constructive criticism, and helpful comments are always welcome. Even nasty cracks can be quite amusing.
I might have the right to ASK someone to stay in her lane but I would have NO right to TELL her to do so. By the same token anyone has the right to ASK anyone to do or not do something. BUT, in the context of GC, no one has the right to tell someone to do or not do something.

So, I'm sorry but you are not in a position to TELL me anything. Please back off and get over yourself.

As to your ever so ladylike order to "blow me", sorry, that is not acceptable on two accounts. First, it is biologically impossible. Second, I am a straight male so even if it were possible you would be out of luck.
