It's just that the examples you are posting in this thread might mislead PNMs because they are in this thread. Most of the dresses you post would not be suitable for sorority ritual wear. They are not conservative, modest dresses, and that is what the PNM needs to get. It is not about impressing any guys that you might walk past on your way to the sorority house. It is about being reverent in your attire.
Even if you are just posting those choices to yank our chains, it might confuse a PNM who thinks those dresses would pass approval. They belong in a "What not to wear for Ritual" thread.

No worries. You haven't offended me. I understand why you said everything you said. I went ahead and deleted all of the ones that got a flat out no just in case. To be clear, I know what you wear to initiation/ritual/etc. isn't about impressing boys - of course it isn't. There aren't boys at those events. It's about you and your sisters. It goes right along with not being allowed to "go out" during initiation week. I don't think any of the dresses I posted were particularly sexy or clubbish, even if they weren't appropriate (or perhaps not even close to appropriate) for ritual and I certainly wasn't trying to imply that a ritual dress should be for attracting a man. I do, however, think you should at least kind of like your ritual dress since it's something you'll wear more than once, during events that are really meaningful.
The last two I posted are significantly longer and are not sleeveless. I've seen what girls wear to initiation at Georgia and the last two would probably be fine on their own and if not then certainly with a cardigan. However, if you disagree about those I will gladly remove them too. We don't need anyone coming here and getting confused. I am sure most PNMs understand what is allowed at their chapter's initiation, what is appropriate for their height and body type and will dress accordingly, but nonetheless I wouldn't want to mislead or mess anything up for them.
I won't post any more dresses to avoid being misleading.
