Yes, this is old news by now, but I still think it is worth looking at.
The Cornell Pi Phi sorority distributed their do's and do not's for rush week. Their rules are ridiculous because not only do they not make much sense, but no one wants or needs to be told what to wear. No booties (unless you are really special and can make them work) and no satin dresses unless you are 130 pounds or under, no chandelier earrings, no American Apparel leggings, no watches, and much, much more.
Oh, I forgot...satin dresses are ok for those over 130 pounds, as long as the dress is D&G or Betsey Johnson.
Items that pass inspection include chunky boots (why no booties?) and Mary Janes, skinny jeans, blazers, sleeveless dresses (only if you have really good arms), and pearls.
Musts are small sparkly earrings, boots over pants, bangles, tights, freshly colored hair, and manicures upon arrival to town.
One thing that everyone can agree on: No camel toes allowed!
Fashion is a great expression of who you are and allows you to be creative. It is apparent that they want a uniform, Stepford-esque clique that they can tell what to do and when to do it.
My fashion sorority would encourage unique finds, vintage fashions, any accessories, funky shoes and even nails that aren't freshly manicured.
Too perfect is boring and homogeneous.
