Band Aid makes this stick of blister block. You just rub it on your feet before putting on shoes. Daughter got some at the recommendation of someone in last year's thread and did not have a blister at all. She was one of very few without hurting feet.

It was probably me. I swear by Blister Block! I always carry it in my purse.

I stuck some of those little Wisp disposable toothbrushes in my daughter's bag, along with one of the mini dental floss things that the dentist gives out. I hit the travel bins at Target and Walgreens and got some mini hairspray, hand sanitizer, kleenex packs and Q-tips (great for quick eye makeup touch-ups).

Sally's Beauty Supply has the blotting papers, as does Sephora. The ones at Sally's have a little powder coating too. If you don't have a Sally's or Sephora nearby, they're both online.

This is necessarily for you bag but if you aren't used to standing in heels all day, I also recommend some of the Dr. Schol's inserts. They have some now that are ultra thin and made for stripy sandals. It's amazing what just a little extra cushion will do

I would also add a small hand held fan and water mister. An umbrella may help at summer time recruitment to keep the sun off of you and for rain. There is also a product I just saw that is called model in a bottle that is supposed to seal your makeup- I would do a test run on that though.

I asked my daughter what she thought was most useful and she said the handiest thing was one of those dollar store plastic ponchos. Her cheapie umbrella broke, so the poncho was a life saver.

At Ole Miss they use fashionable tote bags. Those are also good for holding the heels or flip flops when a PNM change between houses for walking.

How to post a pic of my daughters recruitment "kit"

Would love to share the picture of the recruitment "kit" my daughter used last year---but I cannot figure out how to post it (it is a jpeg file) It came in handy for her and many of the other PNM's in her Rho Chi group!

You have to put it on a photo sharing site (i.e. Flickr, etc.) and then you can do a photo link using the icon that looks like a photo of a mountain with a fellow sky.

i got my daughter a Vera Bradley messenger bag that she used to hold everything. She preferred it over a tote bag because it closed and she also used it instead of a backpack all year.

You can also buy blotting papers at any Walgreen's or CVS.
