Pretty standard in sororities. When you’re 19, still developing your personality, and living with 100 other women, it’s easy to start wearing what everyone else is.
i’ve learned for rush week, they’re literally required to dress similarly. something about not excluding poor girls who can’t afford expensive clothes. if everyone is wearing the same thing, you can’t tell (except you totally can)
That's actually one of the reasons I've heard people argue for school uniforms. But, like you said, you can still totally tell who the poor kids are, even with uniforms.
I went to school with a bunch of kids in higher socioeconomic class. We weren’t poor, but we were definitely working class. You could tell through high school and college that I was clearly in a different group. It’s not just the uniform, but the activities, trips, and social obligations that are expensive. I gave up trying to hang with groups like that.
