Hi!! I'm so excited for you both to join a chapter! Rush last year was honestly pretty stressful for me, simply because I had no idea what to expect. First, I'd say that it is totally okay to wear the same shoes everyday if you feel confident and comfortable in them (lots of time on your feet). Weekend one is a vandy top both days and bottoms of your choice, most girls wear jeans. Sisterhood and pref are a little dressier but lots of freedom--dresses, skirts, sweaters, etc... For display I wore blue jeans and a Vandy top with White Air Forces, for Philanthropy we wear the "Vanderbilt Class of ___" shirt they gave you in August and I wore blue jeans and Vayhas. Sisterhood I wore a casual dress with little boots and pref I wore a bit fancier of a dress with little boots. Anyways, the process is different for everyone but something I wish I had known going in is it is fairly common to get cut a lot of places first round and its not personal, you probably just didn't know enough girls well enough. Of course, lots of people probably go back to six or seven, but almost everyone in my friend group last year went to about four houses second stage and they are all incredibly happy with where they ended up!! Something I like to remember is you only talk to, max, about 10 girls during recruitment out of around 100 in the chapter. You can definitely find your people no matter where you end up so keep an open mind, I actually hated the house I'm in during PPD and then fell in love with it philanthropy round! So excited for you both!!!
