This is helpful. I remember having to have a white dress when I was a new member (we were called pledges back then) but I forgot about that. Also, would love to get advice on what my PNM should pack to plan to wear for chapter meetings (assuming she gets a bid somewhere). We always had to wear dresses, is that generally still the case or are things more casual now? She will be nearly 5 hours from us when in school, so she will not be able to just run home for more clothing.

Back when I was an active and a NM, IIRC, we could wear nice pants with dress shoes and nice shirt. It could depend on the chapter though. We also had one casual meeting a month where we could wear jeans, shorts, etc. Perhaps arm her with some basics that she can mix and match like classic skirts in basic colors like black, brown, navy, etc?

Excellent thread for PNMs! It's so true that most organizations have at least one occasion or ritual for which white is required. We have several, so getting a quality dress/suit that will last is so important. Great tips, ladies.

As far as chapter meetings, that varies by organization.

There are some meetings in Tri Sigma that require whites. Other meetings are badge wear (typically meaning professional dress: dress pants or skirt and an appropriate top.) Then you will have others that are casual (letters and jeans or a theme.) So we always wore one of the aforementioned things.

Then there are orgs in which EVERY meeting requires badgewear and there are no casual meetings.

It will largely depend on where she gets a bid.

Momoftiger my daughter's sorority has "business casual" attire for chapter. She usually wears a dress or skirt but pants are acceptable.

FYI - We found 2 white dresses at White house/ Black market that were regularly over $150 each on sale for $37.50!
