I don't remember that requirement for the IRDs we attended from Sonoma... I thought only initiation had the requirement for dress.

Speaking from experience, it might have to do with the fact that some chapters do Spring Initiation the same day with IRD. I know my chapter does (although it's not always the case).
Every IRD I've been has always been collegians in white, and alumnae in white, cream, or pastel. Sometimes tradition and what "you're used to" is the case.
It kinda helps that white, cream, and pastel are 'colors' of Spring.
