<p>I am planning to rush this fall... I was wondering if anyone could message me stuff about the "Reputations" of the sororities. I know there is a fit for everyone, and I still plan on giving every one a chance, but I was just wondering because there are two I am a legacy to.</p>
<p>Also, I've heard there are lots of preppy kids at Florida State... is this true? (I'm not saying its a bad thing, I am just very into fashion and I don't want to stand out like a sore thumb while everyone is wearing polos and topsiders) or what would you say most of the kids are like? Also, are most of the students "southern" or are they more of the "South Florida" type?</p>
<p>I can’t say anything about the sororities, but there are SO many people on campus that you’ll find a group you fit into! I’ve never noticed a lot of preppy people on campus…there are so many styles of people, there’s not one overriding group. I feel like everyone’s just kind of “normal”…some people get dressed up for class, some people go in sweats, some people just wear jeans and a t-shirt.</p>
<p>Ha, I noticed that some college students go to class in their pajamas, but I would never be able to do that. I am one to shower every morning and get dressed.</p>
<p>Hot weather: flip-flops, tee shirt (generally an fsu type), jeans. Applies to males and females. Cold weather: flip-flops with socks, tee shirt (fsu type), sweat shirt (fsu type), jeans. Sometimes gloves if really cold, which Tallahassee can experience. Applies to males and females.</p>
<p>Preppy tends to slough off once the students start doing their own laundry. ;)</p>
<p>Depending on the work load eating, sleeping and clothes washing are secondary.</p>
<p>I too have seen students walking around in what look like pajamas… :eek:</p>
<p>that’s interesting, because i see almost no preppiness at fsu. especially when i hear my friend who goes to university of richmond (and other friends who go to schools up north), and they talk about people wearing sweaters around their shoulders, khakis every day, pastel polos, etc.</p>
<p>Leave the judgmental stuff about what shoes people wear and other frivolous stuff in high school. It’s college, you’ll mean a lot of different people doing different things. I doubt you are forced to try to fit in.</p>
<p>Jorts? Just normal short jean shorts? I’ve seen them all around campus on girls. Especially with a nice top.</p>
<p>And socks with flip flops?? ew!</p>
<p>There will be lots of colors. Sundresses are common. In the winter (we don’t handle the cold well) you’ll see some people in scarfs (cheap colorful scarfs can be picked bough at the market during this time too!) an even gloves. </p>
<p>During worry about trying to fit in. At FSU there’s a lot of different types of people. And the pajamas with a messy bun? Was def. very popular during finals!</p>
<p>UF is known for their jorts – even Tebow wears them as seen in this picture…

Georgia fans taunt them with “GATORS WEAR JEAN SHORTS! GATORS WEAR JEAN SHORTS!”</p>
<p>Ha, just nice denim shorts (referring to girls here!). Something you’d pick up at American Eagle or the like. Then add in a light and bright colored tank top and flip flops. More beachy attire …at least it was considered that way off the central coast of florida where I lived!</p>
<p>sophie–I laughed out loud at picture number one. The only thing BETTER than picture one would be if they all had Gator T-shirts on!!!</p>
<p>LoveBug, you will see some polo shirts. But FSU is not preppy like, say, UVa. Some T-shirts and some polo shirts, a real mix.</p>
<p>Go through rush. With 15 sororities, it is hard to “classify” the sororities by reputation. My daughter is in a sorority. She had a goood experience with rush, and in some ways was lucky not to have the “pressure” of being a legacy. Funny, those who are likely to sent you a private message will be nongreeks with their “ideas” about each sorority. You will rarely find greeks telling you who to rush and who to avoid, or listing sororities by “rep.” While my D and other sorority members are very loyal, you will actually not find them “dissing” other houses. Even my D would not comment!</p>
<p>SUGGESTION: don’t change your clothes just to fit in with the specific sorority. Even @ rush time. If they are that nitpicky, you don’t want to be associated with them anyways.</p>
<p>I don’t really care if a guy wears jorts, as long as I don’t have to see them–especially in places like church and in restaurants. I guess jorts make sense if your jean’s knees wear through and you cut them off to get extra use out of them as shorts to mow your lawn; but don’t use them as formal wear.</p>
<p>I have a pair of shorts that I guess could be called jorts. The shorts have a bunch of those pockets with velcro snaps. I don’t like the shorts too much because whenever I sit on my couch, I somehow get anchored to the couch with the velcro fasteners.</p>
<p>Something I see more and more people wearing that I do think ridiculous and getting out of control is tattoos and piercings. A family friend has a Florida Gator gator tattoo on his arm that is really ugly. He is an old guy who got the tattoo in college like 40 years ago and now that he is older and sagging it looks like a big ugly green bruise. Good thing he is a guy and not a gal that got it somewhere else on their body–it’d be nasty!</p>
<p>If anybody is rushing the sororities: cover your tattoos, remove any piercings, unbolt and remove any screws, don’t wear heavy steel-toed boots. Wear your pearl necklace!</p>
