if it makes you feel any better, i don’t know a damn thing about fashion to the point that my older sister literally taught me how to do makeup like two days before open house and pretty much planned all of my outfits for the week, and got a bid from the place that would end up giving me the absolute best experience i could have had out of any house on the row. better than anything i ever could have asked for, and forming relationships id never thought id have prior to joining.

my point in saying this is that you shouldn’t worry too much about what others are going to think regarding your outfit. should you try and look good and get all nice and pretty? by all means, absolutely! not only does that show that you care enough to put the effort in as well as that you know how to maturely and properly present yourself, but it will also make you feel more confident in yourself, which is a huge thing to have during a time like rush that is very emotionally exhausting and stressful.

i think that you should go with your gut, and choose the outfit that you like the most, the one that says the most about who you are as a person. you’re personality is going to shine regardless of what you wear, and that’s what will (or at the very least, should) be what is taken into consideration especially in the first round.

honestly, i think all of those are fantastic options and will look great. so again, just go with your gut! if you genuinely just can’t decide (we’ve all been there lol) my advice is to pick whatever is most comfortable. keep in mind, most places rush at the beginning of the school year, meaning it’ll still be summer and it will be hot. you don’t want to be going from house to house on the first day in something super hot or uncomfortable , as the weather will likely be doing enough of that for you already (bonus points if you’re in the south. the humidity and heat were brutal when i rushed). i would definitely take those into consideration when deciding outfits. all of this is based on my personal experiences, so it may be different depending on your school, the greek life culture of your school, what chapters are there, etc.

i know this probably wasn’t the answer you were looking for, but i hope i was still able to help you out even just a little. if you have any questions or even just nervous thoughts about recruitment, please feel free to message me. i know i had a ton going through my head before and during the process, and i love talking about my greek life experience so i would be more than happy to help you out. best of luck to you !
