maybe. I guess what I thought was weird about it was that her house isn't really the type you would expect to be wearing Lily. They're trendy...but a less conservative, more "fashion week" trendy. If that makes any sense at all! haha

I'm voting strange. I understand the cost of recruitment wardrobe can get easily out of hand if nobody is thinking about the price (they don't mention that when talking about the cost of being in a sorority haha). And Lilly is expensive, but to band it all together??? Odd.
Maybe they do not want to give off that vibe or they are trying to keep in mind the sisters that are on a budget, which is always nice.

I'm willing to bet it's because the possibility of a huge number of girls wearing the bright, flashy Lily prints is overwhelming. That really could be a disaster, and maybe it's easier to just ban distracting, large prints.

Or maybe since 90% of the pnms will be wearing Lilly, they want to be able to tell who's an active and who's a pnm.
My girls always had to wear solids--white dress for open house, polo shirt or button down in one their philanthropy's three colors for philanthropy day, red dress for skit, etc.

If they didn't want designer stuff, there are WAY pricier things than Lily that they could ban. I honestly think this is just because of the loud print factor.

Am I alone in thinking that Lily is ugly? Mostly the bags, but looking at the clothing I'm not really changing my opinion.
I would think banning prints in general isn't an unusual thing and if Lily is popular there mentioning it specifically would be normal.

Nope, not at all. Some of the more solid piece are ok, but I don't think they are anything special.

I was born and raised in Georgia (graduated from UGA) and I agree with you.

Re: Lily
On year, my chapter wore Lily or solid dresses in "Lily" like colors....yeah....I bought a bright turquoise(non-Lily) linen sundress. I'm not a fan of the Lily prints.
I think your outfits look great!

im not a big lily fan either. some of the dresses are nice, but I think the actual styles of the dress are pretty plain and the prints are just trying to cover up the lack of design in the cut of the dress. and i think you can find something much cuter for a heck of a lot less.

It's not my style. I get why people like it, but the traditional shift dress with bright print that I think of when I think of Lilly Pulitzer looks beyond horrible on me. I need things with a waist. They do make other cute clothes, but for $300 a dress I want something a little more original looking.

Are we seriously going to tell this girl not to wear the same shoes twice? Seriously?
If a group is THAT hung up on looks, I would RUN the other way.
