Mother of God! That sounds like a TON of planning. Lord help me if we ever had to wear strapless dresses...I'd look like a cross dressing line backer (all those years of swimming sure do give you broad shoulders and a lack of hips/bum). I *think* the rules for my chapter are red and black dressy clothing running to the skirt/top line, but pants and shirt are fine. No jeans. Then again, it may be blue/white, but red and black tend to be our more formal wear. I wouldn't know... I didn't go to any pref. parties
. Now I'm a rho chi and I *still* won't get to know what happens at my own chapter final party!!! That's nutso. But as PNM's, we were told that the chapter will dictate what sort of atire is appropriate. The rush booklet seemed to hint at nicer dress wear, longer skirts, not clubwear. One girl borrowed my favorite sari skirt...it looked fantastic on her and was appropriate for the chapter party she was going to. I would love it if my chapter members wore sari skirts/dresses for final party...it would be very feminine yet still colorful, and saris are a sign of womanhood .
