This is reasonable. T...Everyone needs to calm down. This is reasonable. The Panhellenic Council sets strict rules on most University campuses regarding dress rules, appropriateness, and matching. If you do not abide by theses strict rules, the sorority may get an infraction, resulting in a chapter not being able to meet quota. When it boils down to it, a sorority is a business, a business hosted and run by a large group of woman preparing to be the best versions of themselves, especially during recruitment so they may attract more smart and respectable girls hoping to make a positive impact on their lives. It is obvious that most of you are not in a sorority or you would understand how important appearance and etiquette are during rush and recruitment, actually in life. It may not seem fair and it may sound bitchy, but making sure a group of 100+ 20 something year old girls look presentable takes a great level of strictness and determination. This group of girls will be representing 150 year old letters and their meaning at a university.

And yes, obviously appearance is always going to be a factor - as much as we like to pretend that it's not, let's just be honest - this is definitely outrageous. It's nice to hear from people in the Greek system who agree that this is pretty outrageous and it's also good to know that you guys aren't all ego-maniacal crazy girls :) Thanks for your thoughtful comments!leeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997698215418198119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869734150053262940.post-53626020127218292842012-04-01T20:11:24.487-04:002012-04-01T20:11:24.487-04:00This disgusts me.

On behalf of myself, my sisters of Pi Beta Phi, and most other sororities, I would like to ensure you all that this is NOT what being in a sorority is about. Yes, it's extremely important during rush to look your best because you want to make a great impression. However, looking "perfect" and fake would intimidate almost any potential new member. No one wants to join a house in which they will feel intimidated and subpar everyday. TOO MUCH PRESSURE. Whoever wrote this has the wrong idea of what rush is about. Ill admit it, appearance is a factor during rush. Most girls won't want to join a sorority full of slobs. However, joining a sorority means joining a sisterhood. You must be LOVE the girls because once you join a sorority, you are forever a member. This bitch really shouldn't be concerned with the way her active members look. She should be concerned about her personality because it sounds to like it SUCKS. She is the reason why many people think joining a sorority is superficial and shallow. I'll tell you it's not. Its about friendship, loyalty, philanthropy, personal and community development, and leadership. I'd like to thank her for being a superficial bitch and making us all look bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869734150053262940.post-5052115879525706982010-02-15T11:07:16.186-05:002010-02-15T11:07:16.186-05:00Hey Jen - I do actually completely understand the ...Hey Jen - I do actually completely understand the need for a dress code, especially for the one-week of rush events. If Michelle Obama showed up in a tube top and flip flops... There would definitely be a slap heard round the world lol. I think the main problem with this list of rules is the girl writing it. She comes off as pompous, pretentious, and just plain obnoxious. Inserting little comments like how she is "weird" about this or that and then stating that because of that people need to take extra care just kind of rubbed me the wrong way.<br /><br />I don't know... I really don't have anything against sororities, but if a job I was interviewing for had to give a seven page detailed explanation of what I could and could not wear to the interview? I'm not sure I'd want that job.leeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997698215418198119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869734150053262940.post-43010416419226579072010-02-15T10:54:52.007-05:002010-02-15T10:54:52.007-05:00Pi Beta Phi is one of the "best" sororit...Pi Beta Phi is one of the "best" sororities on school campuses. Dressing appropriately is important for any occassion. They are dressing for 1 week in membership selection or "rush". What would you wear to an interview? What would people say if Michelle Obama wore a tube top and flip-flops at a White House dinner? I'm sure Barak and her stylist would b#### slap her.Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034199250429014951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869734150053262940.post-40984657413124295212010-01-27T22:15:44.073-05:002010-01-27T22:15:44.073-05:00Perfectly Imperfect - I think that's exactly w...Perfectly Imperfect - I think that's exactly who she thinks she is!
