Also depending on how bold you are, I know my friends and I are looking at maybe doing some of the less "bling bling" nail art designs here, all in neutral shades: http://opi.com/nail-art#llQ0iZ5X2d5Kw1iW.97

Ditto on the Kendra Scott necklace and earrings. Also, Tory Burch or similar sandals, but not the ones with raised logo inside the sole. . .. .those are killer pain for many hours on your feet.

That is a real surprise... t shirts and shorts for all rounds Monday-Thursday. Really nice way to take off a lot of pressure on PNMs, though. I sure as hell hope those girls get more than 1 shirt, because I don't see them doing laundry during rush!

lol no kidding! Checking on that -- the MSU Panhellenic Recruitment Guide shows a different shirt for each day -- looks like white for Monday, light blue for Tuesday, a stone gray color for Wednesday, and black for Thursday.

It's either white or light pink. On my screen, it looked pink when I zoomed in, but my screen may not be calibrated. I think it's a pretty good idea, with the heat and all of the walking, it might be pretty comfortable for the PNMs. I wonder what the chapter women will be wearing on those first four days. I hope they aren't too dressed up compared to the PMNs.

When I think of the amount of money I spent dressing my daughters for rush/recruitment at Alabama ... and knowing that they would have been much happier and more comfortable in t-shirts and shorts.

I Swanee!

There I was, encouraging them to begin to building a professional wardrobe post high school.

I think it's a good idea too, but I'll bet there was some angst on part of the PNMs about what size to order (presumably at registration), since the shirt shown has such a deep v neckline. Having to wear a cami won't contribute to comfort in the heat!

I also wondered if the actives will be scaling down their dress as well prior to pref -- my random guess would be probably not.

I'd go with a simple necklace and pendant in silver or gold, simple hoop earrings or simple stud earrings, and cute sandals. I'd make sure my hair was perfect.

Someone told us that the girls who wear belts with their khaki shorts during Open Houses at Texas come off as much more polished and put-together than those who do not. A simple tan leather belt will work with any color shirt they give you.

Not for the South.
Lace shorts, or scalloped hem, tuck in the shirt and wear a nice belt (if the shorts have belt loops).

This thread makes me thankful I went through recruitment in the north/Midwest.

If I were handed a recruitment shirt I'd throw on some jeans and flip flops and go, and wouldn't be out of place.

And this one might be kind of obvious, but it never hurts to mention. Be sure you're wearing a bra under the t-shirt that has no seams and makes it look nice. And stick with nude bras, because white can show under white.

On what Southern campus are pearls currently a popular accessory worn with t-shirts?

Just wondering, because at Bama, you won't see that many worn even with dresses right now.

Also no pearl sightings at Ole Miss. Sorority move-in is on August 15, school starts on the 25th, and they do a mid-term recruitment here, but I'll keep my eyes open. However, I think the shorts and t-shirts my students wear to class will NOT be the norm for how they dress up recruitment t-shirts.
