That white dress looks like a falling off pool cover up.

Exactly!

Or a shower wrap with sleeves. My husband says I'm being mean, but that dress really isn't a good choice for recruitment. Too much potential for a wardrobe malfunction.

[Hearttoheart]

WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY???? My oh my, what is the world coming to? A white jumpsuit is best left if the closet after Labor Day! The white dress should also be carefully stored until next summer.

My grandmother would be rolling in her grave throughout rush and would probably haunt me for the rest of my life if I allowed my daughter to wear that!

Other schools get away with white because their recruitment is before Labor Day. But with ole miss having deferred recruitment, somebody needs to give these girls a lesson in fashion.

It seems like the white before Labor Day thing makes sense up here in the north, because you don't want to get lost in the snow, but down south it seems like as long as it is over 80 degrees, white should be ok.

The White Shirt looks scary. Very scary.

I was rocking a jumpsuit the night I met my second husband. It was baggy too- like Hammertime pants- with a high low hem- higher on the outsides. It was my favorite outfit at the time and apparently it looked good on me since he ended up proposing. Now though? No way.

Jumpsuits never stay in style long because it is so incredibly inconvenient to use the rest room when dressed in a jump suit.

Right. Labor Day is the old standby, but what it really comes down to is "don't wear white in the snow". They don't have snow. Who cares?

[Titchou]

And not till after Easter - even if Easter isn't until mid April - NO WHITE outside of these times...clutching my pearls at the very thought of it!

I think that since rush is deferred, the white rules are too. And I'm a stickler for that stuff.

[MaryPoppins]

Nope, I'm not making my grandmother turn up dirt in Tallahatchie County. No White after August 31 this year. Even my seven year old now understands.



The mere thought alone is just

Sweetie - stay out of the deep South. You know not whereof you speak. NO WHITE until Easter nor after Labor Day....

[Low D Flat]

From the Mrasek post:

Potential new members and the sororities use values-based criteria to make membership decisions.

Seems like this could be rephrased so that it is clearly expressing an ideal rather than making a purported statement of fact about what's going on in the minds of 100,000 18-year-old PNMs.

What about white shorts? I thought those were the cutest of the sample first round options. The cut-offs? No.

All of the skit round options are quite summery, including the colors. However, even if the white dress was in a different color, it still wouldn't be a good choice. The member is darling, but that dress just isn't a flattering style.

Oh yes. The ladies at my chapter up here wear white dresses for second rounds, which is ON Labor Day. I then tell them to put those white dresses away and not to bring them out until Memorial Day. They might not listen to me, but I do try. Even this Northerner follows her White Rules!

(Sorry to continue white clothing tangent)

[AGDee]

I follow the white rules also (and it is Memorial day here), except for Initiation whites, of course. It just seems like the South would have a longer "white" period than we do.
