hair color?

by:    

Hi

Are there rules about the color of PNM's hair? I'm planning on rushing next fall and my friend's mom (who was in a sorority) says I won't be accepted anywhere because my hair is dyed blue. She says I should change it back. Also that I won't be allowed to recolor it while I'm active in a sorority. Is that right? I can't believe the rules would be so strict.

Thank you in advance.

If you're the type of girl to dye your entire head blue I certainly don't want you in my chapter. Keep it blue so we can see who you are

You may have a hard time at Bama. Maybe you should attend somewhere else. And I'm not judging you for your hair, just how Bama is.

there was a girl who went through rush with pink hair and everyone was trying to drop her. i remember on bid day people asking who got the girl with the pink hair. it's not a good idea.

If you want to go through rush, I would dye your hair back to normal, at least until after rush is over, or after initiation.

There isn't necessarily anything wrong with people who have blue or pink or any other non-traditional color hair, but there is generally a negative stigma that comes with it that usually doesn't fit the role of a sorority girl, to be blunt. You may be perfectly normal and fit in with girls in many houses just fine; but to stay on the safe side, I would dye it back for the time being for reasons like all the other comments on this board. There will be many, many girls that will see your hair and immediately mark you off probably without even having a conversation with you. It's sad but true. This doesn't mean that you can't find a place during rush, because you most likely can. But rush is based a lot on appearances and how you present yourself. You want to present yourself in the best light from now through rush and having funky colored hair may not be the best route to go to achieve that.

Once you are in a house and have made friendships and bonded with sisters, they (most likely) won't care what color your hair is because they know you by then and know that you don't fit that negative stigma; but, just from looking at a picture of you with blue hair they won't know you yet, and that's why I think you should change it at least for now. But, it's your decision so do what you're most comfortable with.

Blue hair screams personnel risk, and no class. People do judge based off of looks, so don't do anything that screams "look at me" maybe until after initiation. You could be Mother Teresa but no sorority will know because unfortunately they won't see past your hair.

Thank you everyone for your advice. I can't believe my friend's mom was right... wow, the sororities are really strict! I never would have imagined that coloring my hair is such a deal breaker! Maybe I'll go back to my natural color and do a blue-green ombre after I'm initiated, haha!

Don't forget to take down pics of your dyed hair from your social media!
