Oh, that reminds me: While you're shopping, keep half an eye out for initiation dresses. It's pretty much an open secret that most if not all NPC sororities require new initiates to wear white. The specifics (are bare shoulders ok, is a full-length skirt required or is knee-length ok, is a pantsuit acceptable, is a blouse and skirt acceptable, etc.) might vary from group to group, but a conservatively-cut pure-white dress would probably be acceptable for any sorority she might join.

You probably won't find anything now, but next spring would be a good time to look. You will also want a nice pair of white shoes to go with the dress. You don't want to leave this until after your daughter receives a bid (assuming she does) - finding a white dress in the fall is difficult. Even if she does not receive a bid, it's never wrong to have a nice white dress in your wardrobe.
