What To Wear

It looks like they are suggesting a daytime dress for Preference on your campus.

I agree with the others about pressing the dresses. It can be hard to tell when a garment is lying on a bed, but if the dresses look like they've worn out their "fresh" look, then I think you'd be better off investing in a couple crisper, new sundresses for recruitment. Others may disagree, but I think it's more important to look sharp earlier in recruitment. By Pref, the chapters you've been invited back to already have a good impression of you. Dress appropriately for Pref, but if you have a limited budget, I'd spend my "new clothes" money on the garments for earlier rounds, when you're trying to make a great first impression.

Thanks for this! It's very helpful.

Also, sorry for not mentioning the school. It's College of Charleston for anyone else who is wondering. I will get all of the dresses pressed before recruitment. Based on my school then would the Floral print be okay for preference day since it asks for a more day timey look? And just to clarify, I don't need to put a cardigan over the sundresses? I had an active member recommend covering my shoulders to make it more professional so I wasn't sure.

Whew! Hope the craft on Philanthropy Day involves making some pants for the girl in the yellow dress!

I'm surprised that is an example -- not a good idea to wear a dress that short at any point in recruitment. Just my mom opinion.

Whoa!!! Check out that top on the right for Sisterhood Day. It's a cute top, but it is cut awfully low around the area that it's meant to cover.

I realize that Charleston is hot & balmy, but please, ladies, use some common sense when deciding on what to wear for rush. These are just some ideas thrown out there to you by the sororities. It never hurts to dress a little modestly. Show some personality in your choices but don't attend a rush party in an outfit that you're not able to move freely in without something falling out.
