Then I realized it was a "what not to wear" |
Maryland has formal recruitment in January-February.
[Nice] Jeans are definitely acceptable and common during round 1. http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/46...425x425Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb33.webshots.com/22...425x425Q85.jpg Round 2 really runs the gamut. PNMs will wear nice jeans, dress pants, skirts, casual dresses, etc. http://inlinethumb12.webshots.com/44...425x425Q85.jpghttp://inlinethumb05.webshots.com/36...425x425Q85.jpg All of the outfits up to this point, except the jeans in round 1, are interchangeable for the first three rounds. Round 3 is pretty varied, except there are far fewer PNMs wearing jeans. http://inlinethumb06.webshots.com/45...425x425Q85.jpg I couldn't decide on the shoes or the dress or the earrings. Oh well, the collage looks pretty. http://inlinethumb18.webshots.com/24...425x425Q85.jpg Obviously, I know where I am going. ;) http://inlinethumb12.webshots.com/47...425x425Q85.jpg What I actually wore in Spring 2004 (the first two rounds were combined due to snow): Tours/Philanthropy, night 1: fuchsia 3/4 sleeve button-up shirt with black dress pants and black wedge boots Tours/Philanthropy, night 2: black 3/4 sleeve wrap shirt with medium wash jeans and black wedge boots Skit (8): bright indigo 3/4 sleeve button-up shirt with black dress pants and black wedge boots Preference (3): 3/4 sleeve knee length print wrap dress in shades of blue, camel, red, ivory, and black with red mary jane heels My actual outfits were mostly appropriate, just not very imaginative, which is really weird for me. I don't know why I didn't think about what to wear more. Wearing medium wash jeans for the 2nd night of Tours/Philanthropy was maybe not a good idea at the time, but more and more PNMs have been wearing jeans (though mostly dark) in recent years. It just made me wonder, since we visited 7 chapters each night; the first night I was invited back to 6 of 7 chapters, and the second night I was invited back to 2 of 7 chapters. |
LOVE this thread!!! Since DD's school has deferred recruitment, I would love to see more cold weather ensembles, thanks violetpretty!

Sorry I meant my remarks to mean that I appreciate violetpretty's coming up with a cold weather/deferred recruitment set, not asking for more ensembles from her. :)

Recruitment in the Desert
I'm sure we will see it all going through recruitment. We always do. Here are some common things you find girls wearing during recruitment in the desert where temps will likely hover around 110.
Round One is 15 minutes long. On this day Chapter members are in a Chapter specific t-shirt, shorts and usually flip flops. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/...AAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg Round Two is our philanthropy day. Again the Chapter girls are in Chapter specific t-shirts, but they try to go a little dressier with their bottoms and shoes. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/...AAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg Round Three is their sisterhood/slide show day. The Chapters will wear sundresses. I personally HATE what my chapter picked to wear and the Recruitment Chair conveniently changed her mind and didn't run it by me. They will either pull it off and look really cute or they will look like a bunch of street walkers *sigh* http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/...AAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg Preference I picked a black dress, but it has interesting details in the hem and belt. Because of that I kept the accessories to a minimum. A lot of the Chapters at our school don't wear black. Several wear white and we wear red. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/...AAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg Bid Day This is done late afternoon during the hottest time of the day. This is how most of the new members will show up WITH a water bottle:) http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/...AAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg |

Here's what Auburn's site says about Bid Day attire: Also, many sororities have a members-only "formal pinning" ceremony on the evening of Bid Day. It is at this ceremony that you are given your new member pin. Many sororities require that the new members wear a white dress to this occasion. So, it's a good idea to bring one with you to Auburn. It doesn't have to be pretty or cost a fortune. As long as it is white, it will do. Since you know you might need the dress, you've already bought it. So why not wear it? |

Why is it that my mind is thinking of miss_etiquette?

would you mind either making a bold title for this particular post, or perhaps making an entirely different thread entitled "WHAT NOT TO WEAR" ? |

I wouldn't have gone through recruitment in the 80s, and I would have left my preppy clothes and rayon in the trash can. |
Holy Cow! Whoever said polyvore = crack was right! I have spent countless hours wasting time on it and I think putting together outfits on what NOT to wear may be even more enjoyable. This truly is a feast for the eyes!
