Black bottoms (skirt or slacks) always look slimming and will look very sharp when paired with a colorful top!

about checking for whats appropriate...
I know at my school (very casual, southern arkansas) we had a very informal rush and each group had a series of "theme" parties. (Some examples are "Slumber Party with the XYZ's" and then "Hayride with the ABC's") We were all encouraged to wear what was in the theme. No one was forced but it made for some fun conversations. One girl wore Oreo cookie pj's because her nickname was oreo. Another girl wore hand painted cowboy boots at the hayride and EVERYONE loved to ask about them. So even though these outfits make me very happy because I am a shop-a-holic to the core I would most definitely wait until the info meeting or open house before I buy anything suggested. Or if you have a website like the one's I have seen (which are THE GREATEST idea ever) that shows what to wear at certain schools.
Just my suggestion...

PREF WEAR
Just be forwarned, that as much as I hate to make generalizations, every sorority I know of on every campus I am familiar with wears black dresses for prefs.
Sometimes PNMs hear this and freak out that they have to wear black. Sometimes PNMs hear this and freak out that they can't wear black. On most campuses, there is not a hard and fast rule, and if you go by your rush guide, don't get thrown by what the sisters may/may not be wearing.
Also, on some campuses (mine included) you get matching t-shirts for philanthropy round or open houses, and wearing these with jeans or shorts and gym shoes is just fine. However, the following things are NOT appropriate, even in a casual rush (GCers please correct me if you know of a rush where this is okay):
--sweatbands
--anything that looks like pajamas/sweatpants
--baseball caps/bucket hats
--bizarre alterations of the t-shirt you have been given
These are all things that I have seen and wondered about, and in a rush like U of Illinois, that is tough.

A girl I work with was an AOPi at either Georgia or Georgia State and they wore red at pref! That sould really make an impression on a girl to walk into a room full of red wouldn't it? I think that would be kinda cool really. She rushed back in the late 80's or early 90's or something, but she said most of the sororities then wore their "colors" at pref. DZ wore dark green, Phi Mu wore pink, etc... I thought it sounded great!

I'm not a tiny girl myself, but Rollergirl, i'm sorry, many of those patterns and cuts are NOT flattering on larger figures. A person wearing some of those would stand out like a sore thumb, and not in a good way.
Also the basic rule of fashion:
Just because they make it in your size and it looks cute, doesn't mean you should wear it. Things look different on everyone. Hence why I generally don't buy out of catalogs- I NEED to try things on. If you're not sure what looks good on you, take a VERY honest friend with you.
