SO curious as to what this could be. The only thing that pops to my mind is one of our chapters who wears red skirts and white tights. Works for them, but my big booty and I would be a little scared at that prospect.

Go Jane Eyre!!! How did you know that I was re-reading it as I post this? I got a great hardcover copy for free and I could not resist. Charlotte Bronte is such a wonderful writer. Anyhow, good luck & let us know.

During my first year rushing as an active one of the other chapters decided to wear "graffiti"-style t-shirts with leggings and heels for House Tour Round. While they were probably trying to show off the "quirky fun" side of their chapter, needless to say this style is less than flattering on the vast majority of body types, and the PNMs noticed in a big (and bad! ) way.

Is this the chapter at OSU that is always bashed for the way they dress?

I'm wondering what they wore, too...maybe something the PNM perceived as trampy. I've seen a few outfits on the recruitment-photos threads that would have turned me off for that reason.

Then there are the Bid Day shirts that have been posted with messages on the order of "Having more fun than you since 1893." If some chapter wore a "We're the best and you're the rest" type shirt during rush, that could rub some PNMs very negatively.

No, different chapter, but I know who you're referring to, although I've kind of always liked the way that particular chapter dressed. It's very urban hipster and cute, but not very practical in the middle of a midwestern winter. Kind of like those adorable outfits you see on fashion runways that would look absolutely absurd if any normal human wore them out in public

Haha, I think I know EXACTLY what house you are talking about. One more day and I'm PMing you with the code.

Hope you are enjoying bid day!

AWKWARD. I have to ask - how did you respond??

Are you supposed to say, "But you don't need that!" or "Why - you look beautiful" or "Well, good luck with your new nose/ears/boobs" or "Hey, can you give me the name of the surgeon if s/he does a good job?"

Still laughing...
