No offense taken DLD, because, if my child were young, you would have a valid point. However, my child is a freshman in college. I came to this site to get fashion advice for her recruitment this fall, as it has changed a great deal since my day. I have stayed to gain a better understanding of her experience in a very different Greek system than I encountered 30 years ago. It is very clear that “mature Greeks” are unwelcome here, but I couldn’t resist. I’ll go back to lurking now. 😉
Ladies, thank you so much for the wonderful rush fashion advice! The dream I’ve had since I found out I was having a girl came true yesterday as I watched my precious daughter run with open arms toward my house!!! I can hardly wait til initiation for her to become my sis
Sending my legacy to my alma mater this fall and need fashion advice. Can anyone give me some advice on sorority fashion must haves at Oklahoma State?
We are a Southern family living in the Midwest, so we have experienced the regional differences in fashion, food, and manners. My daughter received enough VB for graduation to make a cover for her car (duffels in three sizes, backpack, laptop case, makeup bag, two phone holders, three IDcases), because it is insanely popular here. How much VB is acceptable on the OSU campus?
Rush attire?! HELP!! Just bought her a presh Lilly dress for Rush (sorry, I’m old school….can’t say recruitment). She has to wear shorts/skirt with a Panhel shirt one day. Which is better and what kind? How dressy should she be on Pref day? Jewelry? I’m having her grandmother’s pearls restrung, but if they aren’t done by Rush, I’ll just send her with mine, so pearls are covered. Are the James Avery charm bracelets still popular? I started hers when she was three, and it tells her story, so I love it, but I don’t want her to look like a doofus. (geed wasn’t a word in my day)
Everyday wear? Thankfully, she is turning away from UO and towards J. Crew (praise God!), but what do we need in her wardrobe besides norts (she has tons), Toms (15 pairs), UGGS (4) and cowboy boots (4). What is most popular in jeans? (boot, skinny) Skirts or shorts? What style/fabric/colors/patterns?
Any advice is greatly appreciated! I can hardly wait for her to have the unmatchable experience of sorority life, and I don’t really care if she pledges my house! You ladies have no idea how strong your sisterly bond will still be 30 years from now!! BTW, please spare me the just be yourself and your clothes don’t matter line. I’ve been through Rush, been on the house side of Rush and been a Rush Counselor; I know better.

Had a big-girl career, but I gave it up for a much higher calling…..MOMMY.
Try dressing for the Execuwife position. It’s much better than housewife.
