This is how my formals went: Most girls borrowed dresses from each other. In fact for my last formal I borrowed a dress from one of my friends who was actually in a different sorority, she had worn the dress to her last formal. I borrowed my jewelry from my little, my hair was done by one of my sister's roommates who was also in another sorority, and I did my own makeup.
Dates met up beforehand and then took the school bus, not luxury style, and parties usually happened at houses off campus.
