What to wear?
• Round 1 OOTD: Dress is casual and comfortable. You will not be seeing any chapter members, so feel free to wear athletic clothes.
• Round 2 OOTD: Casual attire- t-shirts will be provided by Panhellenic and should be worn with shorts or a skirt with flats, cute sneakers, or sandals!
• Round 3 OOTD: Elevated casual—Sundresses or a skirt/shorts and a nice top is appropriate! Wedges, flats or sandals will also work. 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!
• Round 4/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, such as cocktail attire.
• Bid Day OOTD: Wear a tank top, shorts, and comfortable shoes with backs. After you get your bid, you will have an opportunity to run to your sorority home. There, you will receive a jersey with your new sorority letters to put on over your top.
