First, let’s get two things straight:

1. My obsession with over-the-knee boots and tunic or shift dresses will soon become apparent. Do I care that fall has come and gone? Not really. Boots are forever, and oversized dresses never go out of style.

2. There are tons of similar articles on College Fashion (here, here, and here) but I thought it would be fun to come at this topic from a different perspective. For one, I will be going through spring sorority rush, so I’m having to plan outfits for weird chilly-but-semi-warm-but-not weather. Second, I’m not a big fan of floral print, so what follows is my best attempt at taming a vaguely eccentric style for a week, because while I’m not trying to conform to an expectation, I DO want to look a bit more polished than normal.

Now that we’ve got that settled, onto the outfits! If you’re anything like me, dress codes go right over your head, so figuring out what to wear for sorority rush was challenging but also fun.

Spring Sorority Rush Fashion

For a little background, I’m a sophomore going through sorority rush for the first time. After missing the curve spring of my freshman year, I decided to go for it this year, because I didn’t want to regret not ever going through the process. By way of new experiences this one is – without a doubt – a smidge outside my comfort zone.

Below are outfits similar to what I’ve put together for rush week. At my school, it’s a four day process: day one is casual (I was provided with a T-shirt to wear), day two is “snappy casual,” day three is a bit more dressed up – think a tie between church and sports banquet wear – and day four is all-out cocktail.
