I remember being in a department store dressing room with a bunch of other UCF sorority new members that I didn't know and throwing whites over the dressing room doors to one another as we frantically searched for a decent fit!
One of my alpha class sisters (teeny tiny girl!) ended up buying a children's size 12 white dress for our ceremony--- she looked like a doll in that little white dress!
(We have a very Panhellenic campus, so lots of ladies would lend their whites to friends in other chapters.My alpha ceremony dress has seen 5 ADPi "alpha ceremonies," a KD initiation and 2 Alpha Xi initiations!)

Oh my!!!!! Did this bring back memories! We had to wear white dresses under our high school graduation robes. Girls had white robes, boys had red. Well, I was small too! 5'2" and maybe 96 lbs. I am so embarrassed to admit this---but here goes----my mom bought me a ladies x-small or small (I can't remember now) knit shirt, short sleeves. That's it! I wore a shirt! Also, this was when mini skirts were in fashion, umpteen years ago. The length was perfect. SOOOO, on pref day, I wore that same white dress (shirt)! With a summer tan and blonde hair (bleached to white by the sun) it worked well! Then initiation-----the shirt was worn again!!! Yes, and at convention every two years---it's back to hunting for white suit/dress again! No shirts this time!!!!!!
