DO's: Dress as you would for an interview, a graduation, Grandma's birthday dinner, a nice dinner with your boyfriend's parents. Dress modestly and professionally. Dress shoes only.

DON'Ts: Denim, cleavage, midriff, thighs peeking from a too-short skirt, anything with sequins or sparkles, anything you would wear to a night club. No sweats, chino material, cowboy boots or sneakers. No platform shoes. No spagetti straps showing. Wear clothing that does not constrict your breathing or movement, so that it is appropriate for your body.

You're trying to look contemporary as opposed to trendy. Think fitted slacks, button down shirts, sweater sets, long dresses, dresses and skirts that hit below or at the knee. Bonus: You are building a wardrobe now that will help take you through your first few years in the working world.

HOW TO COMMUNICATE TO THE CHAPTER: Hold a "fashion show" of pre-approved Do's and Don'ts. Tell us what is appropriate and where we might purchase it (This is also a great time to bring in a wardrobing consultant from a dept store like Nordstrom to educate on dressing for success and a make-up artist to give tips on good make-up styles for the professional in the workplace). Make it a TME. Invite your alum, too. They'll enjoy the fashion advice and a chance to spend time with the collegians. This is also a great idea for an all-Panhellenic event.
