Along those lines--make sure your undergarments are always appropriate for your outfit, rain or shine!

I don't know if it's been said before, but don't be afraid to ask your rho chi (or recruitment counselor) if your outfit is appropriate for that day.
Also, since our houses were about a 10-15 minute walk from our doors, I wore flip flips and carried my heels with me (definitely saved my feet). We were able to leave our shoes with our rho chis when we went in the individual houses for parties.

What Not to Wear to Rush
Inspired by the leggings debate in the What to Wear to Rush thread: what are some things that you think are unacceptable to wear to rush? I'll start.
*skirts so short that everyone can see your business
*shirts that are low-cut (especially if you have a large chest)
*Crocs
*anything wrinkled, dirty, or otherwise sloppy/messy

OK granted I had not planned on wearing Crocs expect maybe on bid day but now I am planning on wearing something else. But my question is why not Crocs? Do they really make that bad of an impression on people? I personally think they are adorable and LOVE them, but opted to wear heels for the 1st day of recruitment.

They're just not the most attractive footwear in the world (especially the bright colors). IMO, if you want something comfortable, I'd go with flip flops over Crocs.

Please do not carry any type of fake "designer" handbag.

Don't wear perfume. Some overdo their scent, others are allergic. Soap and deodarant are fine.
Nails and Toes: stick with clear polish, neutral colors or an American or French mani/pedi. Black or electric orange are just a little too much.
No overly baggy jeans or ripped hems.
Please don't wear "chains" on your slacks, unless you want to make it onto Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed List.
Recruitment is about showing your unique qualities and individuality, but it is also a time to show you fit in well with a group. You can still stand out without looking drastically different.

Oh thanks. Didn't notice it until after I created this one. Maybe a moderator can merge them.

OK now I wasn't planning on wearing anything overbearing just a soft vanilla scent. Is that bad? I mean just a little perfume always makes you feel more like a lady. And now a days soaps come in very many scents and if you buy the bar soaps with scents they last on your body longer...sorry for the rant (helping an attorney friend out by answering phones and bored out of my mind!!)

yeah i see the reasoning behind it when everyone is wearing very overpowering fragrances, but everyone will have some type of odor whether or not they have perfume on and I would prefer to smell like vanilla.

Yes, it's bad. Imagine how many other girls are thinking, "I'll just wear this soft apple/floral/etc/etc..." Mix them in one room and you've just killed the poor girl that's allergic. There will be a lot of girls in a close space. No perfume. Let it become part of your own personal gospel for the duration of recruitment. You can be a lady without perfume. Live without the scent for a few days.

The sorority women aren't allowed to wear perfume. You can do whatever you want. If it's just a body splash, I would go ahead and wear it. I know I feel naked and not at my best if I don't wear some sort of scent every day.
Just stay away from the super strong scents - stick to splashes.

Actually, you should probably scrub yourself off with baking soda and a rock.
