Sorority recruitment (also known as Rush Week) can be a little confusing when it comes to deciding what to wear because based on location, sorority house and the weather, the outfit possibilities are endless. You want to dress to stand out, but you also don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard (mixed signals, I know).

Each day of Rush will be different, and most likely, your instructions on what to wear will fall somewhere between something super generic, to specific you’ll wonder if they’re going to provide you with the outfit. As a rule of thumb, if you set looks aside that are elevated versions of what you wear you’ll do fine, but if you need a little guidance, these cute styles from Indigo and American Threads should give you some style inspo.

Casually Cute
The first few days of Rush are usually the most “casual”, but that doesn’t mean that you have to stick to denim. A cute patterned dress that can be dressed up or down with different shoes and accessories are a sweet option for these activities. Dress, necklace: American Threads.

Sweetly Detailed
Festivities that require you to step it up a notch call for a look that’s all about the details. You want to stand out, so a shift dress in a bold hue with statement neckline will help you do just that. Dress: Indigo, Earrings: Kendra Scott

All Out Glam
Cocktail attire doesn’t have to mean breaking out your go-to LBD (little black dress). Try a flirty frock with pleated details and sleek jewelry. You’ll live on the dance floor (seriously, how can you NOT want to twirl in this?), while channeling your inner Serena van der Woodsen. Dress, Earrings: Indigo
