'No Frumpy': Cornell Sorority Forbids American Apparel Leggings, etc.

I know this thread is old, but sometimes it all needs to be spelled out. As much as I adored my sisters, some did need some fashion/hair/beauty advice. In rush, you only have 20 or so minutes to make a wonderful impression. You need to look as put together as possible and not like you really didn't care. Sometimes you need to incorporate tough love. My chapter was always full of the down to earth cool chicks, but the top recruiting chappies were the glamazons. Not saying one needs to change herself, but as others have said, would you go to a job interview looking like you just rolled out of bed?

I agree as well, I just had to have a tough conversation with the chapter I advise about how they need to step it up image-wise. They are all cute, just lazy about appearance - and with deferred recruitment, the incoming freshmen have a whole semester to see who they want, and don't want. They just need to make more of an effort.
