Overdressing?

[gee_ess]

I know someone on here will be much better at answering this, but in my experience with Texas rush, er, recruitment, you need to follow the rules or you will stand out in a bad way.

Make sure your t-shirt is new, shorts in excellent shape, fit well, etc.

Exactly...follow the rules as to what clothing to wear, but make sure they are the nicest pieces of those clothing items that you own or can obtain. And feminine. In other words: a French cut school t-shirt, not a big baggy one. Capris or shorts that flatter your figure, not ones with umpteen cargo pockets.

They don't give you a shirt to wear? Weird.

I've seen other schools on here where you just have to wear a "school t shirt." I like this concept far better than everyone getting issued the same thing, which may be a color or style that makes you look like ass. This keeps it casual and you can still dress in a way that makes you feel pretty and confident. If I had been forced to wear a yellow t-shirt (our school colors are blue and gold) I would have probably gotten kicked out of rush because everyone would have thought I was suffering from jaundice.

Well that, or everyone looks the same.

We tried that one year. We had every PNM wear a KSU tee (of their own choosing.) Let me tell you, it is no fun at all when you're trying hard to remember someone and someone says "You know, the blonde in the short sleeved KSU shirt." That really narrows it down.

On that note, one of the reasons I was REALLY bad at recruitment is that I remember women based on what they were wearing. The next round, when they were in different clothes, I often didn't realize it was the same person. I was really horrible at recruitment. These days, I know faces, but I can't remember names for the life of me. Very odd.
