• Convocation OOTD: Dress is casual and comfortable. You will not be seeing any chapter members, so feel free to wear athletic clothes.

• Open House OOTD: Casual attire- you don’t meet any chapters you will be watching chapter videos with the rest of your Sigma Rho Chi group so dress comfortably and casually!

• Philanthropy OOTD: Casual cute—sneakers with Philanthropy T-shirts provided by Panhellenic. Shorts and skirts! Additionally, you won’t want to be wearing anything too short, since you may be sitting on the floor in some houses. Remember to wear comfortable shoes!

• Sisterhood OOTD: Elevated casual—wear a nice dress, jumpsuit, or romper with wedges or heels. An example would be something you would wear to a nice dinner with friends or to a Sunday brunch with your family. You may want to keep a pair of sandals or flip flops in your bag to wear in between houses to give your feet a break!

• Preference OOTD: Dressier—dress, heels and pretty accessories. Preference Day is the most formal round of Recruitment! You will not want to wear a dress that is too tight or short. An example would be something you may wear to a daytime wedding, but not quite cocktail attire.

• Bid Day OOTD: Wear a loose-fitting/cooling top, shorts, and comfortable shoes with backs. After you get your bid, you will have an opportunity to run to your new home. There, you will receive a jersey with your new sorority letters to put on over your top.
