What to wear?
• 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 on your own, so dress comfortably and casually!
• Philanthropy OOTD: Casual cute—dress, romper or fun brunch outfit with sandals or flats is great! Remember to wear comfortable shoes for between rounds!
• 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.
• Bid Day OOTD: Wear a tank top, shorts, and comfortable shoes. After you get your bid, you will have an opportunity to meet your new sisters and spend the day with them. You will receive a jersey with your new sorority letters to put on over your top.
