As a collegiate, we wore pin attire (suits, dresses, nice slacks, etc) to every chapter meeting.

As an alumna, it depends on the event. If its a formal meeting, we usually wear business casual and a pin. For social events, it just depends on what the occasion calls for. :)

what exactly is business attire these days?
 

the rules say business attire but with more and more businesses going to casual dress, in reality we wear business casual. But no jeans, sweats, shorts, tennis shoes, halter tops, etc.

When I was in a grad chapter, the meetings were casual. There was a good mix of women from all ages, and no one took it too far. Everyone looked lovely ;)

Blue jeans and t-shirts all the way!! of course we have to dress up during formal events, but that's not often.

College chapter - anything goes for most meetings, business attire for monthly formal meeting.

Alumnae chapter - business attire.

Re: what exactly is business attire these days?
 

Ditto. The Sergeants-at-Arms WILL turn you around if you're not dressed appropriately.

**clearing my throat**
 

Well at CHARLOTTE ALUMNAE of DST, business casual is what I was told, but as LadyGreek said that really does run the gamut as I saw today @ my first Charlotte Alumnae meeting.

Columbus Alumnae was a lot more conservative -- BUSINESS.

I saw open toed sandals today but no shorts or jeans or nothing.

And how were you dressed for your FIRST meeting with CHARLOTTE ALUMNAE ? :D :D

Re: Re: **clearing my throat**
 

BUSINESS CASUAL -- Blue dress shirt, black dress slacks, knee highs (accidentally mismatched :o:eek: ), and black loafers.

In my chapter the E-Board is Business Attire and members come as they are.

Undergrad- Business no pants!!!
Grad- Is there even a dress code, I think its is suppose to be casual, but its like come as you are, most people are getting off of work so it's still business casual.

My chapters rules for dress are ( and I'm in Grad.) BUSINESS ATTIRE ONLY!

No 'nalia

No jogging suits

No jeans

No sweats etc.

No bad attitudes...positive AKAtudes complete the attire :)

Jacket and tie..

As I just attended my first chapter meeting yesterday *still smiling*, our attire is business casual with a slight edge towards the business side (skirts, hoisery, and heels/pumps).

We wear whatever to chapter but I think some groups wear pin attire. We have them Sundays at 8pm so the pj pants make an appearance by at least once person every week!! I wish we got dressed in pin attire. While I was Pres of the chapter I tried to dress nice if not in pin attire esp if a national officer was visiting...
