I had girls in my chapter who used to say stuff like this and I think it's obnoxious. You chose to join a sorority. You went through formal (or informal) recruitment where I bet you they were all dressed up and trying to act professional. You heard about chapters on campus before you joined Greek Life.. Did you really think that there weren't certain standards that Greeks have to hold themselves to? You just joined a group of women who want to be the elite on campus.. You have to work for that.
Perhaps instead of complaining about having to dress up for chapter, you should think about how this is all teaching you how to act professionally in a business situation. How lucky you are to get the chance to practice in front of 50 of your closest friends before you ever have to jump into corporate America. If you think about it long enough, I bet you can find a real world analogy for almost every single thing you do in Greek Life and how this will help you in real life.. otherwise, what's the point?
Stop bitching and become and officer or something. I bet you would change your mind really quick when you are the one responsible for your chapters image.
(In case you can't tell, I have strong feelings on this whole "you're stifling my individuality" complaint.)
