Today's post is an update to last year's post on what plus size women should look for when planning their outfits for sorority recruitment. If you're not in this group, today's post is just an assortment of outfits you may enjoy.
After attending a sorority alumnae even over the weekend, recruitment (rush back in my day) has changed a lot and it's hard to for me to be able to tell you 'wear X on Y day.' Many schools have their recruitment schedules posted online, as well as a lookbook to give you an idea of what to wear each day. Once you have an idea of how you need to dress, take a look to see my suggestions:
In the past, an expensive wardrobe was thought to be incredibly important in getting a bid to a sorority. However, with the term rush being considered a dirty word, schools have moved to democratize the recruitment experience. Instead of pulling out your best sundress, t-shirts are given out and worn with shorts/skirts/pants/etc. Do double check with your recruitment counselor to make sure that skirts are okay to wear, you never know what event might be going where shorts would be a better choice.

This is probably the best list of dresses I have ever put together on this blog. Depending on your school's schedule you may wear these to meet all the chapters or to invitational events.

For Preference night, cocktail attire is the norm. When I was going through recruitment, little black dresses were de rigueur at my school and at my friends' schools as well. Apparently, though, times are changing but I included a cute black dress just in case. The jade green dress also comes in five other colors, including navy and a a delightful coral.
If you want more information on accessories, refer back to my post from last year, I give a really good overview on what to choose. Also, if you have any questions whatsoever on what to wear through recruitment, your best bet is always your recruitment counselor. She can't choose for you but she can provide guidance.
If you're going through recruitment, good luck! If you're not, I hope you found something you liked and have a nice day.
