Who else is ready for a new year of sorority rush? I know I can’t wait for my TikTok FYP to be filled with all the “get ready with me” videos from adorable new PNMs (potential new members), the perfectly choreographed group dances, and of course, the fabulous rush outfits and dresses of 2024. As a Bama Rush girlie myself, I have seen rush fashion trends come and go over the past three years, and let me tell you, each year just gets better and more over-the-top. It seriously is like the Met Gala out on SororityRow, and everyone is dressed to impress. And rightfully so, because this is — in my opinion — one of the most memorable and exciting weeks of college.
But beyond all the captivating TikTok videos, if you’re taking part in Greek life recruitment, this is one week you want to spend putting your best foot forward, because at the end of it, you’ll be finding your new home away from home. If you are an incoming PNM this year, you’ll quickly learn just how fast-paced those recruitment conversations are, so it’s crucial to have a wardrobe that speaks for itself and shows off your true personality.
