Sorority Recruitment 101
Sorority Recruitment 101: What to Wear for Each Day
For my new readers, my name is Sanjana Pemmaraju and I am a PC ‘21 member of Kappa Delta at the University of Texas at Austin. Now that I’ve seen both sides of the rush process, here is what I recommend you wear for each of the days of recruitment 2024!
The following pictures and links are obviously all suggestions, but the best advice I can give you is to dress like yourself! Although each school will have rough guidelines of the dress code for sorority recruitment, you should always try to dress as much like yourself as possible. After all, sorority recruitment is all about getting to know the real you!
WHAT to wear for each day of recruitment
Day 1 + 2: Philanthropy Round
Here at UT, PNMs are provided with a recruitment t-shirt, so just wear that and a simple tennis skirt or some nice shorts. These two days will have the most walking, so make sure to wear some sneakers or other comfortable walking shoes.

Day 3: Sisterhood Round
Day 4: Preference Round
Preference round is the most formal round of rush, so wear a nicer sundress or a cocktail dress and maybe some sandals or short heels (anything you are comfortable walking in, just a little more upscale).
*Pro tip: avoid wearing white this day because a lot of the sororities have their members wear white!
Day 5: BID DAY!!!
Bid day is usually super hectic, so it’s best to wear something comfortable! Keep in mind that your sorority will provide you with loads of merch, so wear a neutral base! I would go for something like a black tank, white tennis skirt, and some sneakers (my personal favs are these - but just wear something comfy!)
