White after labor day?

Slutty Kermit?! That's hilarious!
There was an interest who wore a lime green suit to my rush. It was...interesting to say the least.

H&M has had business clothes as long as I've shopped in the store. Perhaps it depends on the size of the store, but I've gotten dress pants and blazers from there for years. It's about fit and style to me. (And yes...see through shirts are no good either.) I have issues with skirts hitting my knee because of my height and build no matter where I shop!

Yes...me and my Sands bring it up from time to time. I was so shocked I don't know what she even looked like.

So, I have to ask about this because this is a rule that I'd be clueless about. I'm guessing it was so egregious because it's an AKA color?

Exactly. Showing up to an NPHC rush wearing another sorority's colors (in any shade) is a serious faux pas.

However, it is not the end-all. If a woman is really qualified, a fashion mistake can be overlooked (particularly at the alumnae level). A woman wore bright pink pumps to my rush and she's my line sister now. We still tease her about it ALL the time.

There is not a "rule", per say. I will say that I went for a neutral ensemble, as did 99% of the ladies who attended. I know people who became members despite wearing other sororities colors...it wasn't going to be me (or my line), if you know what I'm saying.

And on a serious note, it falls into line with what I said earlier about the appropriateness of a lime green suit at an interview/presentation. Being that our org. is incorporated, appropriate business attire is a way of life. It should be treated like a job interview.

And besides, most of my AKA SisterGreeks would not have touched it. It was bright!!!
