Recruitment Pictures...

[PersistentDST]

I'll pose this question in here, because I'm curious about something I've seen on Instagram. I've noticed in certain pictures during pref rounds, some members are wearing tight and/or short dresses (more what I consider to be appropriate for a club setting). While I totally understand they are young and don't need to be dowdy (and I'm not THAT much older than them, so I have some of those dresses in my closet), is that really appropriate for recruitment in your opinions?

...and I DO love the Colbalt! Bold color!

IMO, no. It's not appropriate at all. We always remind PNMs that they're dressing to impress women not men. Some girls just don't get it though.

Sorry to pop in but your comments just reminded me of when I saw some of the PNMs' outfits for recruitment on my campus. I saw one instagram photo of two PNMs for the second day, which was basically dressy-casual, and one of the young ladies wore a crop top and high-low skirt. I was quite confused... Haha.

i agree. That is why when the chapters I advised had dress check during their work week, I was always present. I would wait to see if the the Exec. officers would talk to the girls who had the "clubby" dresses on. They did not hesitate to tell their sisters that they needed to wear something else a little less "hoochie mama". Every year the girls were reminded to keep the tags on any new rush clothing they bought and hold on to their receipts, because it had to pass inspection.

Take that girl on the left in the white dress Pitt ADPi photo. Darling girl and lovely figure, but her dress is a little too clubby for prefs. She would have been told to wear something less revealing and tight.

I am impressed with the cobalt-especially that all the dresses are the same shade.
