Some Panhellenic what-to-wear-for-recruitment pages are taking pains to say DON’T wear sequined or beaded dresses (sometimes just sequined are mentioned).
Is this a southern thing, or is it pretty general?
Are they trying to keep PNMs from showing up in things that may be too high school prom-y?
Has sad experience taught them that unless they say this, housekeeping staff will be complaining for weeks about finding stray sequins and beads in cushions, under furniture, and caught in the carpeting?
Just a few examples:
