We do D.I.D. for a number of reasons, including reminding Sorors of some things that they have forgotten. Therefore, a chapter could include some forms of etiquette if they are doing an Economic Development Gala, for example.

I see.
In the NALFO/MGC world, I've seen many chapters host "Proper dress for an interview" or "How to eat at a formal event" events, but they were typically one-offs, not (from an outsider's perspective) part of their official programming.
ETA: This reminds me of Morehouse (I think?) banning specific outfits on campus because "that's not acceptable in the real world." This is what I thought of when referring to HBCUs having the requirements.
