As far as the long white dress, I'm seeing photos of girls wearing them to something called Presentation. Is this different from initiation? It looks like some dads may be there too. Just trying to see if I need to get a short and long white dress. Thanks again!!!

If there is an event for which you would need a long, white dress, I think it is highly likely that this is something many girls borrow or buy from older girls not only because long white dresses are often either expensive, obviously wedding dresses, or both, but also because it's the kind of thing you'll probably only wear once and not worth the money and effort to find a new one. I have a family member who graduated from a private high school in a wealthy area and the girls there wore long white dresses (not grad gowns, legit dresses) for the ceremony. Most of the girls bought or borrowed from girls who had graduated in years past, and the younger girls were scoping out who they were going to ask for their dress; Only a few of them bought theirs new. Since you have many months before recruitment, I wouldn't worry about buying one yet unless you happen to see an awesome one at a great price and you're pretty sure all the sororities will use it for an event.
