I don't know any current students at Iowa, so I'm just basing my outfit planning on their Panhellenic website's guide:

IME, the examples on the recruitment page are a tad under dressed, but things may have changed in the five years I've been out of the area. If it's a plain cotton or jersey sundress, it's probably fine. Just remember you're going to be sitting and standing many times that night, so make sure the dress is an appropriate length. It may sound silly, but I'd even practice sitting on the floor and then getting up to make sure there aren't any "wardrobe malfunctions." I don't know where you're from originally, but August in Iowa is unpredictable. It could be 90+ degrees with high humidity or it could be 70 degrees and raining. Also keep in mind that day one starts at 6:30pm, and it will cool off as the sun goes down, so by the time you're done at 10:30, it could be 60 degrees. I'd grab a cardi or shrug to keep warm if you do wear a sundress.
