 Your preference dress & accessories are black and gold, a combination near and dear to my heart.

Those are really in with the girls in the chapter I advise. Really in. They all wear them. I haven't see the old school Sperry Topsiders on any girls lately. I like those, too, but the newer tan patterns seem to be the rage.

^^I agree. They were huge in TX when my dd was in camp and they are in where I live now. I think all of the outfits are perfect for my neck of the woods

Both of those pairs of pref shoes make my feet hurt just looking at them. I'm so glad I'm an old lady and have opted for comfort over fashion, to an extent...lol.
I saw an adorable pair of Sperry's that were tan with kind of colorful, almost seashell look parts that one of hypo's friends had. They were adorable. I like the look Better than flip flops for sure.

The OP and my daughter could be twins. If that dress isn't exactly the same one she just bought, it's as close as can be. And, her Sperrys are really close, too. And, she loves Lilly. I think all the outfits are classic.
What about a French manicure for preference? I'm not a fan of the tan nail polish, or green, but I may be out of the loop on that. Frankly, I'd just do a French manicure for the whole thing instead of changing polish. You'll probably see the members being more conservative with polish.

The purple would be OK IF it is bright enough to "pop." If it's a plummier or too deep of a color, it'll look muddy instead of being a cool accent.

They are also really neutral colored, and since your shirt is white and you're wearing light khaki shorts the earrings and nail polish may not be enough color to prevent you from blending in with the wall or furniture. I'm thinking some kind of loafer/moccasin women's shoe that is still practical and comfortable, but is in a lovely color.
You did it right with the printed dress by pairing it with a neutral shoe, so do the opposite for philanthropy. Also if the shirt is white, wear a bra that's close to your skin tone, beige or nude for example. It isn't as obvious as a white bra. You could also keep the neutral shoe if the weather is ridiculous and wear something light on top, or even a scarf if you can pull it off.

If you are attending school in Florida the Sperry's would be fine with your outfit. Sperry's are very popular with the college kids down here.Your outfits are perfect!

To be clear, though, we are nit-picking every last thing because we are old ladies who wish we could do it all over again. You shouldn't worry about every chapter member looking at your outfit and picking it apart like we are. I just want to keep this in perspective. It looks like you've picked lovely outfits, and you should be comfortable in them and wear them with confidence, not worry about whether your toenails are the wrong color.

In my experience Sperrys are very popular on many campuses. I live the metallic ones and wish those had been around back in my day.

All of your outfits are adorable and would be great at UT...which is probably similiar to UGA... Most of the girls wore Sperry's my daughter's year (2010) instead of tennis shoes. Im guessing that the t-shirt could be any color and that you just used white as an example...at least that is how it is at UT..they dont "unvail" the t-shirt color until opening convocation when they are passed out.
I love the Lilly dress and Jack Rogers..very cute..and your pref dress is very classy!
As far as the dresses that you asked about today..I love the second one (orange with bow). It is adorable!

Sperry's are totally in. That wasn't my point. My point was that if you have to go to a lot of parties in one day, your feet might to stink in a pair of Sperry's. If I were going to parties all day and walking outside in a pair of Sperry's my feet would sweat a lot and then stink to high heaven. Not a good thing.
Maybe if you switched the Sperry's out with sandals, like people do with pumps it would be okay.
