Come mid-July, there’s a lot on your mind. Making sure you have everything you need for your dorm room, wondering if you’ll get along with your new roommate, but most of all, you’re probably stressed about what in the world you’re going to wear during Panhellenic Recruitment.

We’ve got to hand it to you–it’s tricky. You want to be confident and comfortable, and while you want to stand out to the different houses, you certainly don’t want to stand out in a bad way. Well, stick with us and you’ll do just fine.

TCU

Day 1: Panhellenic t-shirt (provided) + khaki or other casual shorts and comfortable shoes.

Khaki’s fine, but at TCU, you can make more of a style statement. Go for shorts with a bold print, like these from J.Crew.

Comfortable shoes are key. We cannot stress this enough. You will be walking from house to house, and once inside, you’ll be standing. How can you possibly be at your most fabulous with aching feet? Try a neutral gladiator sandal like this one from Steve Madden.

Day 2: Casual sundress or skirt-and-blouse combo and comfortable shoes.

On day 2, casual-cute is the name of the game. Don’t overdo the dressiness; there’s still plenty of time for that later in the week. Try a breezy dress in a simple shape with a bold pattern or color to keep it interesting. This Amanda Uprichard number is perfect, paired with another chic pair of flat sandals by Dolce Vita.

Day 3: A dressier dress or skirt/blouse combo and heels.

Today we’re stepping it up a notch. Think what you might wear to a girls’ luncheon. This floral print dress by Shoshanna is great because it’s a step up on the dressiness scale, but still light enough to keep you from drowning in your own sweat as you walk from house to house. As for shoes, while you want to wear a heel, keep it sensible. You’ll still be walking and standing just as much as you did on the previous days, so a wedge is a good option.

Day 4: Pref Night: Cocktail attire.

Most girls are going to end up wearing LBDs. But you’re not most girls. Make a statement in a colored frock like this one by Halston Heritage. Pair it with a neutral heel and simple jewelry. Let the dress do the talking.

Day 5: Bid Day

You’ve made it! Today’s the day when you’ll find out which house you’ll call home and celebrate with all your new sisters. Comfort is the name of the game, so think casual. You’ll be required to wear a plain white tee (think American Apparel), and go with jeans or shorts and comfy shoes.

Here’s to going Greek!
