what to wear for recruitment

     There is a major problem girls always have. That problem? Finding something to wear. We stare at our closets, we try on everything we own, we leave it on every piece of furniture in our rooms for about three weeks, clean it up, and then do it all over again the next time we have to dress up. We try to look effortless, but really, we broke out in hives over this slammin' outfit. If you are preparing to go through recruitment, you have probably experienced the anxiety over picking the perfect outfits for each day of the week, but have no fear, here are some tips and tricks on what to wear for recruitment:

GO GREEK: The first two days of the week are the Go Greek days. These days are the most casual days, where you wear the Panhellenic shirts that are given to you, with any cute shorts, simple jewelry, and sandals. Your shorts can be colored, patterned, or khaki, but it is ideal to keep them at an inseam of about 3 inches or longer, which can be found anywhere from Target to J. Crew.

PHILANTHROPY DAY: The third day of recruitment week is philanthropy day where you learn important and exciting information of the philanthropies of each sorority and what they do to help benefit those philanthropies! On Philanthropy Day you can wear sandals or wedges with a fun colorful sundress, or a simple dress with fun jewelry. Try not to go too heavy on the makeup, but rather opt for a fresh faced look.

THEME NIGHT: Theme night is one of the most exciting and fun nights of recruitment, where each house will put on a skit for you, which is a great time for you to see the different personalities each house has to offer! This night is dressier than philanthropy day, so wedges or heels with a nicer dress and a piece of statement jewelry is a great way to go!

PREFERENCE NIGHT: The final night. The big hurrah. This is when you get excited about coming closer to choosing your future sisters and have hopefully found where you feel best. Preference night is also the dressiest night of recruitment week. A little (but not too little!) black dress is a great option, and make it your own by opting for classic pearls or a fun statement necklace. Add some classy heels, and enjoy your last night of one the most overwhelming and exciting weeks ever!
 
     During recruitment week also remember that it will be hot hot hot, so be aware that whatever you choose will keep you cool and comfortable. Do not wear shoes you can't walk in, and do not wear a dress that you feel doesn't represent your personal style or makes you uncomfortable. Although it is important to look presentable during recruitment, remember that clothing is an extension of who you are and should represent YOU. Wear a smile, be yourself, and look great while doing it!
