<p>Do the girls at y'all's school have to wear certain clothing for rush? I have to ask around for ours but I know UGA does, so I'm assuming my school does too.</p>
<p>yeah, i was wondering this too</p>
<p>In my school (UVa), we have a large sorority system. Girls usually try to look their best during rush, by wearing sundresses.</p>
<p>so the answer is sundresses or nice dresses...</p>
<p>sundresses, cocktail dresses, and the proverbial "little black dress"</p>
<p>I'm not rushing or anything, but my school sent me an application last week that says this about dress:</p>
<p>"What should I wear?</p>
<p>There is a series of events during Formal Recruitment: Open House, Philanthropy Day, Skit Day, and Preference Day. The most important thing to remember is to be comfortable and to be yourself!</p>
<pre><code> * Open House - The attire is dressy casual: Capri pants or casual skirts.
* Philanthropy Day - Everyone will wear shorts and their recruitment T-shirt.
* Skit Day - The attire is slightly dressier than Open House: A sundress or nice pants is appropriate for this day.
* Preference Day - A dressy dress is appropriate; however, nothing as elaborate as a prom dress is recommended.
* Bid Night - You are required to wear a white dress."

<p>Now I'm sure there are differences at every school, but that is the information I know of. Is there anyone in a Sorority that you know and can ask, though?</p>
<p>Damn. . . I don't own a single white dress, and I'm not 100% positive that I will pledge anywhere. . . . oh the choices. . . I guess I should go out and look, at least, right?</p>
<p>That's just one school with the white dress. I doubt many are that picky, but then again I'm not into the Greek thing.</p>
<p>Berkeley is so disjointed on this. It doesn't matter.</p>
<p>It really does vary from school to school, but rush at my school is pretty much like katho said. We have 2 days in which you wear dressy casual, philanthropy day which is super casual (we don't have recruitment tshirts or anything), skit day, pref day which is dressy, and then bid day you get a tshirt and wear jeans. A white dress is necessary if you decide to pledge, however, as you have to wear it for initiation and other ceremonies. Some sorors even require pledges to wear them to formal. </p>
<p>Anyway, it's usually good to have a semi dressy outfit and a dress for the pledge process, and a few cute casual outfits in mind.</p>
<p>My school makes t-shirts for absolutely everything. </p>
<p>I'm a t-shirt whore, so I love that about them.</p>
<p>ahh I wish. We don't get t-shirts for ANYTHING, and if you do it's like, $12, which, I mean, adds up. I'd love love looveee t-shirts for everything.</p>
<p>Shoot, I bought a shirt from the campus radio station for five bucks! It's light blue and has a cow on the back with all the music genres on different parts of the cow. I love it...there's an inside joke about cows I have with my friends.</p>
<p>And I've already gotten three or four free ones and I haven't even started yet. I heart them.</p>
<p>Toga and/or diaper.</p>
<p>Note: I havn't rushed, nor will I ever rush (I can't afford it!), but I do have lots of friends in sororities!</p>
<p>Rush here goes 4 days. The first day you dress in shorts and athletic shoes and go to all of the houses. The second night you dress up a bit more, and go to parties at three of the houses. The third night is pref night. You dress in a cocktail-type dress, and go to parties at two of the houses. The last night is bid night. You dress in a plain white shirt and jeans, and meet at the collsium. If you make it in, you get the sorority's stich shirt, which you wear the rest of the evening.</p>
<p>My school only makes shirts for homecoming, and you have to pay $10 for those (well worth it, as they are generally really cute!). They do give away t-shirts around homecoming if you "turn in" a shirt from another school, and at certain festivals if you're one of the first ones there. I managed to score a watermelon festival shirt last week, but I was 10th in line when it started.</p>
<p>Heh, I want a watermelon festival shirt now...I may have to stay around Ruston for a peach shirt next summer in substitute.</p>
<p>Darn I don't have a single dress. I'm just loaded with casual stuff though I have some really nice tops. Then again, I don't know if I want to join a sororirty.</p>
<p>If you have fall rush I'd definitely suggest it. I rushed but am not in a sorority, and ended up meeting a ton of really cool girls, some of whom I hang out with now. My roommate actually joined a sorority, and I hang out with her sisters all the time, so if you're a girl's girl, it's an awesome way to meet people.</p>
<p>OF COURSE there is a downside. You might ask why I didn't join a sorority, and, well, my roommate's sorority is so sweet and I lucked out by having an incredibly awesome recruitment group, BUT some of the sororities and some of the girls were just brutal, and after hearing about the process by which girls are weeded out from some of the top ones, I honestly felt terrible about myself. It can either be really fun or really tough...for me both. </p>
<p>If you school has deferred rush, you have some time to think about it, but fall definitey gives you the opportunity to get a head start on meeting some fun girls.</p>
<p>I just can't decide whether I'd want to join a sorority or not. I've read up about them and what ppl say but I can't figure if its something I'd want. But if I went to rush and seemed clueless that'd be a disadvantage wouldn't it? I bet sororities are more interested in ppl who know what its all about and all. right?</p>
<p>It depends. If you go to a hardcore southern school I hear you have to be pretty prepared and whatnot, or it can be a stressful process. At my school half the sorority sisters I talked at at rush were like "I never anticipated joining and just rushed for the fun of it." I mean, that's what I told everyone when I went through the rush process and I still got a bid...lol.</p>
<p>You just honestly have to be yourself, and if you have no idea what's it's all about to join a sorority, your "future sisters" should totally want to bring you into that world. Just seriously be yourself and if you like it you like it, and you'll find the best fit, and if not then you can always just withdraw from recruitment and whatnot. Remember that's always an option. I withdrew before the last round because I just didn't really want to go through with it...lol...and I still met a ton of great people. Rushing is in no way obligating you to join.</p>
<p>(Of course half the reason I rushed is because we don't have to pay a cent until we sign a pref card, so if you have to pay just to rush there's more to consider)</p>
