girls

As a PNM who loves fashion... I looked at insta on these chapters and didn't see it. At least not that prevalent.

I like the look but will wear what I love.

I've got to actually study today, but I just want to help y'all. I want my future sisters to look good! Take a look at EllieTuscaloosa and the shirt shop on insta today. The dress at Ellie's would be good for Ice Waters with flats or skits with wedges. No bra straps, please! The dress at the shirt shop is a good idea for pref's (not quite, but a good idea). Wear a dress like that with dressy wedge sandals or nice heels. Make sure you can actually walk in heels, especially on slippery floors! You don't have to have brand name everything and I bought most of my stuff on sale when I went through. I wore an Easter dress for pref's and my graduation dress for one of skit rounds (yeah, it was Lilly in a ridiculous print. Whatever. It was in style then). Buy 2 pairs of 4-5 inch inseam shorts from JCrew (or someplace like that for cheap because you probably won't wear them again) for philanthropy. You're going to get a Greek Chic guide soon. That was helpful to me. Honestly, wear clothes and colors that make you happy and feel confident.

I don't know about other houses, but at my house if you got an invite, it was because someone wanted us to get a better look at you. I know some PNM's were grousing about not being treated nice at some houses. I know if you came through our house and if you dressed like you were going to hit rounders later, I would try hard to see if you had a brain or were funny or something. We can still work with that kind of girl. If you looked like you were just there to be seen by others and to brag over how many houses invited you to teas, yeah...we moved on. Some girls we might remember as being questionable, some we might not. Just figure that recruitment is a big chance for a do-over and to let us want you.
