Call me crazy, but...
Rush threads as of late--not this one--have gotten pretty shallow. It's one thing to tell a rushee to put her best face forward. But, once we start getting into different sorts of manicures, dresses, hose, and suggesting that bids wouldn't be extended to a woman who didn't wear black hose...it's going too far. Reading some of the stuff on this and other threads, it makes me so happy to know that I was part of a Greek system that cared only about attracting the women who put their best faces forward and were potentially great sisters--and not the ones who looked "acceptable" in an antiquated values system. I was raised not to wear white after Labor Day, for example, but I will not criticize someone who chooses to do so. To each her own.

Thank you!!!! Maybe it's because I come from a really laid back school, but I think these threads are a little too much. I can understand wanting to look your best and such, but I think some of this is going a bit too far.
My thoughts: if you want to let your tattoos show, go for it. They can be a great conversation starter! During last fall's structured, I got into a really fun conversation with a PNM about tattos and piercings and stuff like that. (I personally don't have any tattoos, but I have my belly button pierced) I even brought other sisters over to show off their tattoos as well.
That's what structured should be about. It should be about making connections with the girls and having fun getting to know them. One day, they're going to be your sisters and you're going to see each other at your absolute worst (without makeup, hungover, in desperate need of a shower, etc.). And I doubt they're going to be wearing a Lily at that point.
