Common destinations for formal are Kansas City, St. Louis, Dallas (try not to go there so much because so many of the members or their dates are from there, so it's not much of a getaway) or Memphis. Hot Springs is also an option but a far less used one.

Ahh ok, nice.

SInce we're 20 minutes away from Miami Beach, we rent out a big Miami Beach hotel's banquet hall.

Tickets are $150 for active couples and $170 for alumni, we really go all out. And we definitely hire an open bar for the night lol.

Pantherteke- I also go to the University of Arkansas just like elephant walk and our formal is probably much differant than yours by the sound of things. Alumni DO NOT attend and there are no tickets you just have to pay for your hotel. Your dues that you pay every semester cover the social fund which pays for the band or DJ that you get for formal. Our formal has been in Dallas the last few years and after you pay gas, food, alcohol, golf, entertainment such as going to a mavericks game or stars game it ends up costing each guy between 400-600 for the weekend. Usually we rent out the bar at the hotel and have a band saturday night but the rest of the weekend is whatever you want to do. It is a great time and the Adams Mark has been very accomidating the last few years. dress is usually a cocktail dress for girls and a suit for guys

Sounds like a pretty good time. Our formal is the only thing not completely covered by our budget, so that's why tickets must be paid for. Many brothers also rent rooms but they pay for that too.

And since we're primarily a commuter campus, that's why alumni are allowed to go to ours. But believe it or not, they are pretty fun to get drunk with lol. Since our chapter is only 20 years old most of our alumni aren't past the age of early 40s.

ETA: The dress code is the same for us too though
