What to Wear for Sorority Recruitment: Outfit Ideas by Round

Check your campus recruitment guide first. Round names and dress codes vary, and some schools provide a shirt for one or more rounds. Use these outfit ideas as a starting point.

Open house and philanthropy

If you’re given a shirt, pair it with tailored shorts or a skirt that fits the guidelines. Choose shoes you can comfortably walk in for several hours.

Sisterhood round

If the round calls for a slightly dressier outfit, try a breathable mini dress or a skirt and blouse. Bring a lightweight layer for indoor rounds.

Preference round

Check the school’s dress code, then try a polished midi dress with simple jewelry and dressy flats or low heels. Test the outfit sitting, standing, and walking before recruitment starts.

Another way to use this guide

If your school’s guide calls for a dress, try it with the shoes you’ll walk in. Keep a more polished option for preference and follow any assigned-shirt instructions for earlier rounds.
