sorority pants
hey girls!!! just curious if it's the same on other campuses-do you wear sorority pants(the black, soft, boot cut, kinda tight pants?)everyone in a sorority here wears them...lol, its kind of a tradition. so, if you wear em, post your fave place to get em. bebe for me!!!!!!although it is hard for me to pick what shoes i like to wear w/ them...so many decisions!!!j/k
|
okay hold up....preppie, how would you know what sorority pants are if you're not in college yet??
anyway, i get mine at bebe or guess. as for shoes, that's WAY easy. if it's warmer outside, something with an open toe and a heel that'll show off your pedicure or painted toenails. if it's colder outside, wear chunky-heeled shoes or boots that zip up the side. easy! now, to complete your ensemble *in COMPLETELY stereotypical sorority form* you MUST, i repeat MUST be wearing a tight shirt *preferably with a bebe, versace, betsey johnson, *insert famous designer here* logo right on the front with a puffy coat, black sunglasses, a kate spade bag and the keys to your black, fully-loaded jetta in your hand. oh yeah, don't forget your cell phone! i got WAY off track with this one guys and gals but admit it...you smiled! but yeah, get your pants at bebe. etienne sigma alpha iota-the hartt school of music *but daddy...i NEEED the other CREDIT CARD! i maxed out the OTHERRRR ONNNNNE!!* ------------------ "red is the color of music and has been since the very earliest of times. the caps of faeries and musicians are well-nigh always red."~*~w.b.yeats "I think that happiness is when you can let yourself feel every emotion you want at any time instead of being a lying little fuck." - Tori Amos [This message has been edited by etienneSAI (edited August 06, 2000).] |
They're called sorority pants everywhere? LOL. I've also heard them referred to as 'bitch pants' at my school. I love 'em! But I'm not all about spending a lot on clothes ('cuz I have stuff like rent to pay for too) so I get them at like Rave or Marshalls. I bought 2 pairs for $4/ea at Rave on clearance recently. They wear out fast and have to be replaced often anyway so why spend a lot?

This is too funny! I thought my school was the only place that called them "sorority girl pants"! Small, small world! I get mine at Express. I love'em. Me and my sisters are always like "are you wearing your sorority girl pants?" when we go to parties. This is great that others call them this too. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Gee, everyone at my alma mater dresses like that. It was not a look reserved for sorority girls.
|
I have a pair of pants like that, and so does just about every girl I know. When I was visiting a my ex at his school about 2 years ago, he made the 'sorority pants' comment when I pulled them out of my bag. But the way he said it sounded so degrading. Of course, after he explained himself, it was even worse. Seems that at *his* school, girls wearing those pants are considered *hoochies* or whatever you want to call them in your area, but not very *nice* girls, and incidently, those same girls make up a majority of the sororities at his school. Basically, he and his friends call them sorority pants as a put down. So ever since then, I've not thought of the term 'sorority pants' to be a good one. This isn't to 'put anyone down'. Like I said, I have a pair myself, just thought that it was a interesting twist.

OK at my school we're made fun of when a group of girls walks by decked out in their black pants. My thoughts are though, they look nice! We don't wear them for any other reason than to simply look nice when we go out.
|
I guess they do kinda have a negative connotation, especially among the guys, and yes, a lot of girls -- both in and not in sororities wear them. How could you not love them though...the go with everything! LOL...they're kinda like leggings, which i love to sleep in and lounge around in. My fave look is with a short, tight white tube dress over them. I'm also getting a knee-length black cardigan to go over them and tank tops, just for a twist. But anyway, as always, people need to get to know youu as a person
(*obviously*) instead of judging you by what you're wearing. ------------------ Amanda M. Secretary/Social Chair Theta Sigma Alpha,Towson University |
Yeah everyone at my school has put negative connotations to wearing these pants. Most people say that it's like the sorority girl's "uniform" when they go out. That's all you'll see around my campus...there will be a big group of girls going to a frat party and they'll all have those pants on. I don't care though, I still like'em http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Sorority Pants - we have them here in Canada too! Non greek girls at UBC wears them also, not just the sorority girls. I usually buy mine at the Gap, Le Chateau, or Bootlegger. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

I don't know what you guys are talking about...what are they?
|
I just got the best pair of sorority pants at the Gap last week. They were marked down to $16.99 from $58.00. They're a bit long, but the cost of having them hemmed is nothing compared to what I saved.
I love sale shopping. |
wow, i'm so glad to hear that the "Black Pants Mafia" is worldwide and not just at my school! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif you would not believe it but i came to college my freshman year with no black pants. right away i saw how ubiquitous they were, and i got 3 pairs! my favorite pair is from bebe, god, they are beautiful, but they cost $120!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif aaarrrrrgggghhhhhhh! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif they are kind of long so i need to wear them with a heeled shoe. i wear black heeled boots, or heeled sandals in spring/early fall.
my other 2 pairs are stretchy, from gap and express. the express pair is actually dark gray (how i express my individuality i guess http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif ) for going out i usually wear the black pants with a colorful top. this next year i have decided to be a bit more exciting fashionwise and i actually just bought a pair of red pants! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif i thought this was funny and scary at the same time-----> on my bid night, all the new pledges were told to dress up in black pants & a colorful top. they were just assuming that we'd all own black pants. and all 30 of us did! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif [This message has been edited by twinstars (edited August 07, 2000).] |
Black pants are a must!! We call them black pants, but some guys call them 'f#&k me pants'. Everyone in Carbondale wears them Thursday thru Saturday nights. The closest Bebe to us is in St. Louis, so we're kinda partial to Express. They really do go with everything!! My favorite thing to wear with 'em is Express tube tops(they're longer ones, go to your waist)or backless shirts. Here in Carbondale, we don't care how cold it is- almost always dressy sandals! However, we usually make fun of the girls who wear 'em to the rec or to class!

I have at least six pairs of black pants!
Sorority pants, dance pants, f^#@ me pants --they are progressively tighter --for example we wear sorority pants during rush but the dance pants have to stay at home. And I'm not affraid to be a hypocrite, I'll talk trash about those pants when a group of girls walks by in the "sorority uniform"...even when I'm wearing them! What shoes to wear when you're going out: strappy sandals or chunky black boots We wear them everywhere around here; to class, shopping, clubs, anywhere! When I'm feeling sporty I'll wear white platform tennis shoes with my letters. Any tight shirt looks good. I prefer the short sleeved deep v-necked ones from Express. It all depends what look you're going for. The black pants are just like the perfect black dress--good for any event. |
They are known as f*%k me pants at UBC or yatch pants.

white we're talking about pants, let me just tell you about the WORLD'S FUNKIEST pants that i got the other day. my sister *biological, not fraternal* and i went on a shopping binge and i bought a pair of patent leather, zebra-striped pants! they're so money, you can't even believe it. the white parts glow under blacklight, which is superfly and they're just the coolest thing since cheerios. can't wait to rock 'em at school this year!

Okay, I have absolutely no idea what you all are talking about. Sorority pants? We never had such a thing, I don't think. Does anyone have a picture?

tiara,
my little calls them "bitch pants" so you're not alone. i prefer the term "sorority pants" over "bitch pants" but we use both here in hartford. as the self-designated "sorority pants fashion diva", i'll answer dewgirl's question about what to wear with them...seriously. okay dewgirl, seriously speaking, black sandals with a bit of a heel on them look really sexy, especially if you've gotten your toes painted or something of that sort. i usually wear my pants with either a cute button-down shirt *i have this red one that i got from old navy that sort of has a bit of a sheen to it, so it catches the sun...matches my red hair, too!* if you wear all black, it definately gives you an opportunity to accentuate your hair, eyes, jewelry...something else OTHER than your clothes. usually i wear silver jewelry. as for makeup, lately i've been doing this thing i saw in cosmo at a versace runway show. yu take a bright, bold shade of eyeshadow *my favorite is green, since my eyes are green*, and apply it on JUST your lid. don't go above it at all, so when your eyes are naturally open, you'll just see a rim of green *or whatever color.* also, line the BOTTOM lid in the same color. try to use a very small brush, or the side of a normal eyeshadow applicator...not the flat foamy side. this looks AWESOME with black and really gives you a chance to bring out your eyes. if you have big eyes like i do, this works really well. that's it for etienne's makeup tips for the day...at least for now. hope this helps a bit! etienne sigma alpha iota ------------------ "red is the color of music and has been since the very earliest of times. the caps of faeries and musicians are well-nigh always red."~*~w.b.yeats "I think that happiness is when you can let yourself feel every emotion you want at any time instead of being a lying little fuck." - Tori Amos |
All right, I admit I got mine at Eddie Bauer, about 38 bucks. Nice fit too.

i've never heard of parallel. i will have to check it out sometime. i can't afford the leather bebe pants...WAY too expensive for me. i can see paying 300 for a pair of pants...do you know how many tubes of tony&tina lipstick you can get for that???

I ususally go to get the pants at BCBG! They fit sooo nice. Another designer that makes good pants is Parallel. You will find either of the two at Bloomingdale's or Nordstrom!!

Ok I'm obsessed with Bebe but sadly I am 5'2". I feel like their pants are SO long. they're like made for supermodels. Any other short girls have this problem? I have the hardest time finding cute pants. I mean I can just get them hemmed but it takes away from the bottom flare. HELP
(how ditzy do I sound?) |
no, you don't sound ditzy. when i worked at bebe, i bought the "capri" pants and they fit me like regular ones, so i was set. the pants there ARE really long, but in contrast thier skirts are WAY short. i have this awesome grey one with a slit up the side...it's so sexy. love it!

I agree Corbin Dallas:
Men's clothes are sized according to length and waist size. I know it took me a long time to get in on this topic but I saw something that applied to me since in my area these poants are not designated as "sorority pants." They are simply bootleg pants. My legs are reeeeaallllyyy long and these pants typically BARELY go over my ankles. It pises me off. I have to get to bebe because I would like to see a pair of pants in which I could cross my legs and not have my ankles showing. ANy other suggestions of boutiques/stores/brands that make really long pants for the longer legged women out here. I am 5'8" and MOSTLY legs...somtimes good but sometimes a hassle. PEACE Oh yeah...also, but pants that usually "look" long enough often get "filled up" because I (seeing as how I teach aerobics and do like 50 squats and lunges like 3 times a week) am very muscular and have a booty and some thighs. SO I am not tall and waife like but tall and muscular NOT heavy. So the pants have to be like reeeeeallllll long. Okay, I'm done.

DELTABRAT, you should be able to find tall sizes through online catalogs for your favorite retail stores. Most times, they only offer tall/petite/plus sizes through their catalog. Try that! |
delta,
bebe will be just fine for you, then. good luck finding pants! etienne sigma alpha iota ------------------ "red is the color of music and has been since the very earliest of times. the caps of faeries and musicians are well-nigh always red."~*~w.b.yeats "I think that happiness is when you can let yourself feel every emotion you want at any time instead of being a lying little fuck." - Tori Amos |

I wasn't aware that "sorority pants" were an issue at other colleges. Wow. We never go clubbing w/ out the black pants. Jada DZ

I'm wondering what you all would do if you lived in West Virginia. There isn't a Bebe in the entire state. I went in one in Washington DC once, but everything was so expensive. I just couldn't justify spending so much on a piece of clothing. I have a pair of little black pants, but they came from Deb I think. They were only like 10.00 on clearance and they've lasted for 4 years without falling apart. I think that is pretty good.

I absolutely love my sorority pants! But you can go out of the house here with out having you Dove Designs jewelry on with them!
We wear them with everything... Do you guys wear dove designs too? |
i've wrecked my brains for days and please excuse the ignorance...what are sorority pants and what do they look like?
|
MaMa - LOL! don't feel bad for not knowing sorority pants... I am a "young alum" (late 20's) and have worked in the Greek system at my school for the last few years, and so would not have known about this fashion phenomenon either if not for that. (not that I don't know what black bootcut pants are! I have a couple pair myself, but I had never heard the term before registering at GreekChat)
The "sorority pants" that everyone is referring to are the synthetic (usually a rayon or other stretchy fabric blend) black pants, which are usually low-waisted, with a flat front and maybe (but not always) a back pocket. They are fitted through the waist, hips and thighs, and flare slightly at the ankle ("boot-cut", for the old school among us). They usually zip up, and have a very slimming look (hence the popularity). These pants are EVERYWHERE. Any store, any designer... they flatter almost any body type, especially if you are very slim, or if you have a good "booty"... the only exception is if you have a pooch (ladies, you know what I mean) and you wear a short shirt which does not cover said pooch. MaMa - I guarantee you have seen these pants and just didn't recognize them as "sorority pants". That's what everyone is referring to! |
lol . . . There was another post that asked: "Where did all the men go? They don't seem to be commenting on discussion . . ."
This discussion seems a trifle over our heads http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Personally I'm fashion challenged, and if I don't take along a lady with good taste, will likely end up looking the way the sales girl thinks I should (which can be disconcerting if I go into several very different stores). I sometimes have to ask questions like . . . You mean orange and purple don't look good together? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif A lot of time I just buy clothing with a man riding a polo horse and figure that must be reasonably acceptable . . . in yellow and magenta ofcourse http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Now personally, I like buying polo stuff, but I don't like paying 80 dollars a shirt. So I recomend factory outlets. Here is a nice web site with a list of them by region. http://www.outletsonline.com/oc.html They usually have good bargains and are worth a couple hour trip if necessary. However, shoppers can be fierce and like sharks in a feeding frenzy sometimes http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif PS. What is a pooch? [This message has been edited by James (edited September 13, 2000).] |
James,
A 'Pooch' is a slang term for that little bit of a 'belly' that women have. Although we all hate it, and most of us won't admit it, the 'pooch' is impossible to get rid of completely--belive me--we all try. The reason women have it and men don't is becuase . . . drum roll please . . . we are different! Our bodies are made to give birth and despite the fact that some women don't, they still have that small area of fat around their belly to "insulate" that area in case of pregnancy. Soooooo in short no matter how hard we try, all woman will have at least a tiny 'pooch'. [This message has been edited by mgdzkm433 (edited September 13, 2000).] |
Okay, now I got it. I came back to america and went back to school so I see the black pants everyone is wearing. Wasn't there a topic in chit chat on conformity. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
Anyway, they aren't bad and they do match everything BUT I am so not into stretchy things. What is with the fake fabric and stretchy clothes nowadays? I mean really, let's go natural. I think people have forgotten what cotton is. I have to admit, I bought myself a pair. They really do match everything and the rear side of me look quite ... nice. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
