To me it has always been important to dispel myths about sorority girls (and people with purple hair LOL - notably I have a super conservative mom cut now but hey). What better way to let a segment of the population know that there are nice conservative non party girls in sororities than wearing letters to church?
Yes you may get looks, but if you do, it is an opportunity to educate them about what Greek Life is about.
Back when I was in school years ago, we actually had a group called Greek Life - it was like CCF or CCC but for Greeks. Also, my sorority had a subgroup of girls who did bible study.
As for formality of dress, it will vary considerably from denomination to denomination to geographic area, etc. I currently attend a church that is very popular with university students and thus it has a very casual evening worship service. If I attended a different church with more formal dress, it is highly likely that I'd dress to match the population too  |
My hometown church has two different kinds of services...the traditional (dress up) and contemporary (dress down). I've never seen anyone wear jeans, except for small children, but that's probably because of the area I grew up in. But that way everyone is happy. (I enjoy dressing up so when I do go to church I don't mind. My grad classes are studio art classes for the most part and I never get to wear nice clothes.)
