But in other groups -- including my own -- the requirement is for a conservative uninterrupted white (no colored buttons or zippers or trims or belts) skirted ensemble with sleeves. I can wear a white sweater and skirt, but not a spaghetti-strap dress (and a cap sleeve is pushing it). Another group might not be okay with a sweater and skirt and might require a dress.
But everyone is likely to be fine with a conservative all-white dress.
It would be wise to err on the side of finding something that is likely to work with a more conservative standard, since you don't know where your daughter will end up.

When I was in school, our president sank beaucoup $$ into a white suit. At the time I thought she was crackers. Now I see how smart she was. You enjoy ritual more if you're dressed in something that is becoming (strapless white minidresses are not becoming ever) and of good quality.
Even if you go through rush and end up not pledging a sorority at all, a simple white sheath or a-line dress is something you can always use, as are closed-toe white shoes. |
