An outfit for every round

Recruitment usually runs over several days, with a different dress code each round. Always check your Panhellenic's guidelines.

Round Typical look
Open house Casual and polished: a sundress or skirt and top
Philanthropy Casual, sometimes a provided T-shirt with a skirt or shorts
Sisterhood A step up: a nicer day dress
Preference The dressiest round: a cocktail or semi-formal dress
Bid day Themed: whatever the chapter's theme calls for

That's four or five looks in about a week. Renting means you don't buy a closet's worth of dresses you'll wear once.

Why renting works for rush

  • You're on campus. Many lenders are students too, so a local handoff is often the easiest option, with nothing to ship.
  • Longer rentals are flat-priced. The owner sets one price for each length (2, 4, 5, 7, 14 or 30 days), so a 7-day rental can cover the whole week.
  • Bid day themes change every year. Rent the themed piece instead of buying it.
