^^^Sidenote: I really don't know how schools do the "all PNMs in the same Go Greek/Panhellenic shirt" thing.

Sometimes clothing was the only way I could remember someone (ex: "you know, the one with the purple sweater!") I don't know what I'd do if every single girl was wearing the same top. lol.

Well there are always accessories, hair/eye color, height, etc.

But honestly it does help you focus more on the PNM herself and not just what she was wearing. Ex: The girl with the grandma from Spain or the girl who tripped up the stairs on her first day of high school. More relevant (and personal) information to remember, IMHO.

The personal stuff is definitely ideal, but it only works if everyone who talked to her found out the same information. Appearance, on the other hand, is evident to everyone (although certainly subject to interpretation :-)).

Accessories can be huge though, especially around Prefs when so many PNMs wear black (or insert color here) dresses. I distinctly remember several of us having a hard time remembering someone until her earrings were brought up- "wait, the girl with those fantastic dangly pink earrings? Oh, I know who you mean!" Accessories can be even more distinct than clothing, albeit usually smaller and therefore more sutble. Usually.
