[pinksequins]

OleMissPNM -- do your first rec writers know sisters who could write a second one or provide leads?

As you prepare for Recruitment, there is an important conversation you need to have about paying for your future sorority lifestyle. A really good discussion is here: Click Me

My daughter has pick out a dress for pref that is a particular sorority color. She now thinks she needs to wear a black dress. Her friends told her that she shouldn't show favoritism. She looks very good in the dress that she picked out. Do we need to look for a black dress?

Going to pref parties in a light blue dress: OK.
Going to pref parties in a light blue dress with dark blue scarf, pumps and headwrap, a necklace with a key pendant and owl earrings: Not OK.

And ditto what amIblue said.

Thanks for all the advise she has decided to stick with her original dress but we did buy a really cute LBD today that she can wear to something else. Moving in in less than a month. We are all so excited!

[Titchou]

Sweetie, they all are some sorority's color!

What Titchou said. Plus, there is no guarantee that she will be preffing the sorority that has that color.

[HottyToddy1]

That's what I told her. I wanted her to hear it from y'all. You all have been through this more than me and both she and I trust your opinions. Keep that good advise coming!

[Hartofsec]

Agree with others -- I think it would be almost impossible to avoid all colors of all chapters. Not that she would, but it might is a good idea during the rest of recruitment to avoid clothing with any obvious chapter symbols, like owls or anchors or whatever.

It probably is a good idea to have a black dress on hand just for general purposes. And a white one too.

And don't forget that navy can look gorgeous too....that's what color I wore if I remember correctly (can't believe it's been 18 years!). And navy looks great with a red cardigan for fall football games too! Hotty Toddy!

[MaryPoppins]

Yes, every young woman at Ole Miss needs to have football attire that is Ole Miss Blue and Ole Miss Red. We like to wear the same color as the football team on gameday to show support. The effect is breathtaking, both in The Grove and in Vaught-Hemingway stadium.

[HottyToddy1]

Have they decided what color theory are wearing for each game? Is it posted somewhere?

[HottyToddy1]

Boy, am I a bad speller. I meant they are not theory.

Tell her to get a bright orange dress. I'm pretty sure that's the only color not used by any of the NPC sororities.

Seriously though, there are so many PNMs that the actives won't really care what colors everyone is wearing. Again, it's pretty much impossible to avoid NPC colors altogether. Just make sure she doesn't show up dressed in pink from head to toe with quatrefoil earrings and a lion necklace.
