I think it is really important to consider whether or not the chapter has a house. If so, I can certainly understand robes or even thick white t-shirts sewn together to make a long dress... I know, especially here in the South, that it can be nearly impossible to actually find a store selling white dresses after Labor Day. (I worked at a store that removed all of the remaining white dresses from the clearance racks so that they would not get "talked about.") And, if everyone changes into their outfits at the house, then I don't think it would be so bad.

But, I think if there is no house, only a chapter room, etc., then it should be more elegant in the form of dresses. (I think it matters what people see the members wearing if they are lined up outside the chapter room...)

Bed sheets are inexcusable to me. I think that if the rules are so lax that something so informal is allowed, then why not go to Wal-Mart, etc. and buy SOMETHING else. I think a white sweatshirt and sweatpants would be more appropriate than BED SHEETS!
