Recruitment dress ideas for chapters

[SWTXBelle]

ITTW share ideas for recruitment dress for actives.

I saw this and went "OMG how adorable would this be for Kappa Delta?" Yes, it says conch shell, but it reads nautilus to me!

I agree. It does look like a nautilus shell.

hey hey! these salons are about 10 minutes in either direction from my work. Next time I have to get my hair done for an event, I want to try this out.

I don't know what it's like in other parts of the country, but as a PNM, I would FREAK if I saw identical hair styles on every collegian.

I wish the directions were more specific than "using the normal technique for creating a fishtail braid...." What is this technique? That's kind of a key piece of missing information.

Anyway, I think it looks cool...I love creative up-dos. It would be a neat look for pref for some members to have. It looks like you need long, thick hair for the right look.

Now I want to see a crescent braid!

[honeychile]

LOL! It wouldn't work for the chapters which do the hair tossing!




Said out of pure jealousy, as I only wish I had enough hair to do that!

It wouldn't be on everyone. That braid is going to take a lot of hair. I never had that much length as an undergrad.

In the South, that would be impressive.

Oh yeah!

I could see it at prefs with a pretty dress and heels. Very ladylike.

Same here. I'd be a little creeped out; but, then again, I'm not in the south!

It is a very pretty braid, though!

[SWTXBelle]

Maybe not every member - but for pref, those doing the ritualistic presentation matching would be cool.

This thread seems to be not so much about outfits as hairstyles.

On pref night at my school, the ladies' rooms in the student center REEKED of hairspray. (The men's rooms on the two floors where pref parties took place were temporarily turned into ladies' rooms. Poor guys - the men's rooms probably also reeked of hairspray for a few days after rush - LOL)

My hair is stick-straight and simply will not hold an updo in the absence of liberal amounts of ozone-hole-creating product (and even then, it falls within an hour). Fortunately, when I blow out my hair and let it fall naturally, it looks very attractive, so that's what I did for pref.

[SWTXBelle]

When I started the thread, I had in mind dress as "getting dressed" - head to toe - but would love to see some actual dresses.

Not quite for clothes, but for name tags, I'm a big fan of professional-looking magnetic tags that take up minimal time on the part of the recruitment team. Today, I saw that my FAVORITE button company (yes - I have a favorite button company), has come out with "clothing magnets", or basically buttons with a magnetic backing. (ETA: purebuttons.com is the website)

The 1.75" x 2.75" Rectangle would be perfect for name tags:


The design would all have to be the same, but I'm thinking you could easily write a name with paint pen, glitter glue, permanent marker, etc.

The price is great, especially if you have a large chapter or can go in with another chapter:
50+ = $1.45 each
100+ = $1.40 each
250+ = $1.21 each
500+ = $0.96 each
