I know that practically the minute I got to Clarion, I was informed I had to invest in a pair of Keds-type sneakers (often worn laceless). The differences: 1) The expense was very small (we got them for $5 at GC Murphy), as opposed to the Nikes pictured which probably cost $100+; 2) they were actually more flattering to the legs than...the Nikes I had been wearing.
Oh and don't get me wrong, 33freshman was still rockin' the terrycloth jogging shorts like it was my job, but I would have never dreamed of wearing them for rush.

Nike shorts+ large t shirt+ nice tennis shoes= southern sorority girl uniform
I am not surprised that Nike shorts are recommended for rush. They are more flattering than khaki shorts and you don't see sweat like you can with the cotton shorts. They are much more comfortable in the heat too.

Very true. It's a universal uniform and we call the shorts "Norts."

My daughter was surprised when she did her graduate work at Bama that as DDDLady said, nike shorts or what my daughter called cheerleading shorts, big t-shirt and athletic shoes was the daily outfit for most of the girls.

I am still baffled that the only difference in the "uniform" between the winter and summer is the addition of a sweatshirt or the occasional pair of track leggings under the Norts.

It doesn't get that cold in the winter down here. Plus, put black leggins under those shorts and your legs look better/skinnier.

What happens if the shorts and shoes aren't Nike?

You get burned at the stake.
The other thing that makes me giggle about all this is that then for going out, you need to put on what is basically a cocktail dress and heels, do hair and makeup to Oscar night caliber, etc. For someone from a small school it's hard to see the point. Like everyone didn't see you running around in your tennis shoes and jogging shorts the rest of the week, and putting a dress on is going to wipe it all out.

And the men don't dress up at all so it makes for a very stark yin/yang contrast. Makes me wonder about these young men, are they gentlemen or not? I think not.

Be warned: The oversized tank thing is creeping up north as well. I see a lot of undergrad students on campus wearing them, though not like they do in the South. It's definitely slowly catching on.

Darn. It spreads like the plague or fire ants.
Also acceptable if you don't have Nike shoes are Chacos. I am starting to be able to guess the sorority by the footwear....
