Deffered recruitment?

I've been to a few fraternity parties with friends this semester but I always offer to be the "sober/responsible" friend because I don't want to give a bad impression… someone could really remember you as "that sloppy drunk girl who made out with like 3 brothers at the XYZ party" (exaggeration here)

Ex: Dressing well. As much as I just want to roll out of bed an throw a hoodie and sweats on I also don't want to look like a slob every day. People might start to notice me as the girl who looks like she may or may not have showered.

Also, I've really been trying to make it to a lot of the sororities philanthropy events that I see advertised around campus and on top of that their fall/winter open houses.

Is this my OCD operating here? Or do members actually notice this stuff?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

I don't think it's OCD, I think it's actually really smart. You should always be trying to make a good impression--something that you'll want to continue should you become a new member!
