Do you mind if I ask you guys a few questions?
Do you wear the hajab and do you interpret the modesty of dress the way they do in many Middle Eastern/African countries (i.e. long dresses, etc)? Has this impacted the pari that you wear? I know I was suprised to see the items in their shop, especially the baby t-shirts and the tank tops.
As I understand it (and please forgive me, because I am not knowledgable about Islam), there is the expectation that you pray several times a day, facing Mecca. How do you handle it when you are at a sorority function/meeting?

I don't wear hijab either. I dress modestly most of the time, (although I have worn things that weren't so modest :0). Some of the baby t-shirts and tank tops could be worn in the privacy of their homes, or maybe under their other clothes, or something like that. I don't have a problem wearing para either because it's mostly t-shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, etc. I personally don't like baby-t's and tank tops with my letters on them.
I wouldn't see it as a problem to go and pray during a sorority meeting. Muslims go to work every day and manage to either make prayer or make it up, one way or another. It's personally never been an issue for me though
