Winter Rush Outfit Inspiration
Recruitment is approaching quickly for those of you who go to schools that have rush during the winter. I remember being at a complete loss for what to wear last year. Most blog posts and YouTube videos about recruitment are geared more towards fall recruitment where it's warm enough to wear shorts and sundresses. Luckily it's not too cold in NC so I could get away with wearing a dress last year and not freeze walking in between rounds. I remember being so stressed out about what to wear, but I truly don't think it makes much of a difference, just as long as you feel like yourself in what you're wearing. I didn't buy anything new or fancy, I just wore things I wear on the daily. Of course, what you wear isn't the most important part of sorority recruitment, it's the conversations you have with the girls in each house. Choose something you feel comfortable and confident in because that will help you to be your best and truest self throughout the process!
I was also so worried about what to keep in my bag with me throughout the day. My top three must haves are mints, chapstick, and water (and some slippers if you're wearing heels)!
Every school does recruitment a little differently, so this is based on how Elon does winter recruitment. For the first two days we are encouraged to wear something we would wear on a regular day. I still wanted to feel put together, so I went for a more dressy casual look. Day 3 was preference round and we were encouraged to wear something we would wear to a cocktail party with family.

If you have any more specific questions about recruitment or sorority life let me know in the comments or shoot me an email, I am more than happy to answer any questions or write a blog post on a specific aspect of recruitment/greek life.
