Poll: Chapter Meeting Attire
 

We wear business casual, unless it's a joint meeting, then we wear business attire.

We do 'themes'
 

We do business casual too, but some months we are asked to accent it with our colors. One month, we have a 'khaki day' when we wear our letter khaki shirts. And usually for the last meeting of the Sorority year we all wear our favorite pari. My favorite pari is a grey t-shirt with SGR in block greek letters and the letters are colored in the state of Texas flag. These are the iron on/stich on letters where the bottom (outline) is one color and the top is another. So, the sigma is blue with a white star, then the gamma and rho both have blue backgrounds(bottom outline), and the top color is 1/2 white on top and 1/2 red on bottom. If you look at the Texas flag, then this discription will make more sense. ;)

When I first joined grad chapter I stepped into our June meeting with shorts on. You know Houston, 100 F and 100% humidity. They were nice khaki shorts and they fell just above the knee. Boy, did I get yelled at for doing that!!!!:( Alot of the older Sorors expect full 'Sunday' dress: calf length dress, stockings, heels and maybe a hat. Eventually we elected a younger administration and they relaxed the dress code a bit. :)

Business casual here, too.

Business attire.

I live in Cali, it varies...
 

I always thought that the attire was business casual. When I attended my first meeting, I noticed that it varied. The older sorors dressed business or business casual, while the younger sorors wore business casual to jeans.

It's supposed to be business attire but when it turns hot business casual sneaks in.:p . But business attire the majority of the time.

Re: I live in Cali, it varies...
 

My chapter runs the gamut. Officers usually wear business or business casual dress, but some sorors even wear nalia. I usually wear business casual, but once in a while I will wear a skirt, stockings and closed-toe pumps, usually in the winter. Now to our upcoming meeting, I plan to wear a white pantsuit w/P&G touches.

When I visited Soror PrettyNPearls' chapter this past Saturday, I wore black pants, a pink dressy T-shirt, a black cashmere cardigan (it was nippy in SoCal) and hot pink thong sandals.

For formal meetings..."pin attire," which consists of anything but jeans...business/dressy, but not semi-formal. Most women wear black...a skirt and shirt, dressy pants.

We wear whatever. We usually just meet up in my dorm room so there's no need for business attire.

Most Sorors wear business casual however the older Sorors wear business attire. And Soror Steeltrap it was nice to meet you last weekend. I'm always wanting to put a face with the names:)

Well, since you asked... :)

Our meetings were completely informal (jeans, whatever... though our girls would wear letters a lot of the time)

but once a month we would have a formal meeting, at which we were asked to dress in business type apparel (though this often leaned towards business casual)

business attire

Unless it is a formal meeting, in which we wear business attire, casual is the norm, ie: jeans tshirts, para.:)

When I was a collegiate, we wore business attire to Formal Meetings, but usually letters and jeans to regular meetings.

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.

Re: **clearing my throat**
 

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...

Re: Re: what exactly is business attire these days?
 

I've done it. It amazes me that sorors could 'forget' something so basic. The rules have NOT changed...

I never realized until last semester that we are one of the few chapters on campus among the sororities anyways, that wears pin attire to every chapter. The only exception is if there is a theme, but if you don't wear anything that goes along with the theme you are expected to be in pin attire. It kinda makes me laugh what passes for pin attire on our campus. A lot of girls wear the same clothes to the bar that they would to a "pin attire" event.
