sorority pants

hey girls!!! just curious if it's the same on other campuses-do you wear sorority pants(the black, soft, boot cut, kinda tight pants?)everyone in a sorority here wears them...lol, its kind of a tradition. so, if you wear em, post your fave place to get em. bebe for me!!!!!!although it is hard for me to pick what shoes i like to wear w/ them...so many decisions!!!j/k

[etienneSAI]

okay hold up....preppie, how would you know what sorority pants are if you're not in college yet??

anyway, i get mine at bebe or guess. as for shoes, that's WAY easy. if it's warmer outside, something with an open toe and a heel that'll show off your pedicure or painted toenails. if it's colder outside, wear chunky-heeled shoes or boots that zip up the side. easy! now, to complete your ensemble *in COMPLETELY stereotypical sorority form* you MUST, i repeat MUST be wearing a tight shirt *preferably with a bebe, versace, betsey johnson, *insert famous designer here* logo right on the front with a puffy coat, black sunglasses, a kate spade bag and the keys to your black, fully-loaded jetta in your hand. oh yeah, don't forget your cell phone!

i got WAY off track with this one guys and gals but admit it...you smiled! but yeah, get your pants at bebe.

They're called sorority pants everywhere? LOL. I've also heard them referred to as 'bitch pants' at my school. I love 'em! But I'm not all about spending a lot on clothes ('cuz I have stuff like rent to pay for too) so I get them at like Rave or Marshalls. I bought 2 pairs for $4/ea at Rave on clearance recently. They wear out fast and have to be replaced often anyway so why spend a lot?

This is too funny! I thought my school was the only place that called them "sorority girl pants"! Small, small world! I get mine at Express. I love'em. Me and my sisters are always like "are you wearing your sorority girl pants?" when we go to parties. This is great that others call them this too.

Gee, everyone at my alma mater dresses like that. It was not a look reserved for sorority girls.

I have a pair of pants like that, and so does just about every girl I know. When I was visiting a my ex at his school about 2 years ago, he made the 'sorority pants' comment when I pulled them out of my bag. But the way he said it sounded so degrading. Of course, after he explained himself, it was even worse. Seems that at *his* school, girls wearing those pants are considered *hoochies* or whatever you want to call them in your area, but not very *nice* girls, and incidently, those same girls make up a majority of the sororities at his school. Basically, he and his friends call them sorority pants as a put down. So ever since then, I've not thought of the term 'sorority pants' to be a good one. This isn't to 'put anyone down'. Like I said, I have a pair myself, just thought that it was a interesting twist.

I agree! in a town where our fanciest clothes store for 20 miles is the juniors section at Wal-mart (no, I'm not kidding!) we're a little behind the times But I just got my first pair this weekend! I already love them! But what do you wear with them? Etienne, I love your answer but seriously...we don't have access to any "designers" or even stores like express or gap...can anyone help me out regarding general style with them?

[Manders]

OK at my school we're made fun of when a group of girls walks by decked out in their black pants. My thoughts are though, they look nice! We don't wear them for any other reason than to simply look nice when we go out.

[Tiara98]

I guess they do kinda have a negative connotation, especially among the guys, and yes, a lot of girls -- both in and not in sororities wear them. How could you not love them though...the go with everything! LOL...they're kinda like leggings, which i love to sleep in and lounge around in. My fave look is with a short, tight white tube dress over them. I'm also getting a knee-length black cardigan to go over them and tank tops, just for a twist. But anyway, as always, people need to get to know youu as a person
(*obviously*) instead of judging you by what you're wearing.

Yeah everyone at my school has put negative connotations to wearing these pants. Most people say that it's like the sorority girl's "uniform" when they go out. That's all you'll see around my campus...there will be a big group of girls going to a frat party and they'll all have those pants on. I don't care though, I still like'em

Sorority Pants - we have them here in Canada too! Non greek girls at UBC wears them also, not just the sorority girls. I usually buy mine at the Gap, Le Chateau, or Bootlegger.

I don't know what you guys are talking about...what are they?

I just got the best pair of sorority pants at the Gap last week. They were marked down to $16.99 from $58.00. They're a bit long, but the cost of having them hemmed is nothing compared to what I saved.

I love sale shopping.

wow, i'm so glad to hear that the "Black Pants Mafia" is worldwide and not just at my school! you would not believe it but i came to college my freshman year with no black pants. right away i saw how ubiquitous they were, and i got 3 pairs! my favorite pair is from bebe, god, they are beautiful, but they cost $120!!!! aaarrrrrgggghhhhhhh! they are kind of long so i need to wear them with a heeled shoe. i wear black heeled boots, or heeled sandals in spring/early fall.

my other 2 pairs are stretchy, from gap and express. the express pair is actually dark gray (how i express my individuality i guess )

for going out i usually wear the black pants with a colorful top.

this next year i have decided to be a bit more exciting fashionwise and i actually just bought a pair of red pants!

i thought this was funny and scary at the same time-----> on my bid night, all the new pledges were told to dress up in black pants & a colorful top. they were just assuming that we'd all own black pants. and all 30 of us did!

Black pants are a must!! We call them black pants, but some guys call them 'f#&k me pants'. Everyone in Carbondale wears them Thursday thru Saturday nights. The closest Bebe to us is in St. Louis, so we're kinda partial to Express. They really do go with everything!! My favorite thing to wear with 'em is Express tube tops(they're longer ones, go to your waist)or backless shirts. Here in Carbondale, we don't care how cold it is- almost always dressy sandals! However, we usually make fun of the girls who wear 'em to the rec or to class!
