Northwestern Univ. Restrictions on Sorority Formals - 1903
Formerly, the different sororities spent too much time and money on their formals. It was suggested by some “frat” girls to form a compact in order to cut down expenses. All the sororities, with one exception, agreed to have their formal parties limited to the following restrictions:
1. The hall shall be rented for not more than twenty-five dollars.
2. There shall be no wall or ceiling decorations and no palms. Pillows and rugs and subdued lights may be used if desired. A society banner may be hung on the wall.
3. The programmes shall be folders, without an inner sheet or pencils.
4. The music shall consist of not more than five pieces.
5. Refreshments shall not be more than coffee, sandwiches, olives, pickles and frappe served during the evening.
