Is this outfit okay for business casual day?!

Um, no skirts allowed. That's her conundrum! The style of pant is fine, but I'd steer away from white as well, unless it's a really short day. My primary concern with the top is while you'd look stylish, you'd be MELTING. I hate that they've used the phrase "business casual" because what you've chosen is that, but probably not appropriate. I think they probably mean something along the lines of khakis and a polo (or something a smidge fancier than a polo). Do they have pictures on their website? Keep digging. I was looking on one school's site and I had to find the pictures via google because the site wasn't arranged well.

When she said that skirts weren't recommended, I was thinking that it was because of the chance that they may have to sit on the floor for skits or crafts. However, If she gets a knee-length skirt and she knows how to keep her legs closed or wears spanx underneath, she should be able to pull it off. Now if Panhellenic has straight up banned skirts rather than recommended against them, ignore this advice

Not to steer to much into your convo, but if it says skirts aren't recommended, it is a passive aggressive way of saying they don't want skirts.

It's like a black tie optional event. The organizers envisioned the event to be black tie, but felt they were doing something good by saying optional, but it only hurts the invitee when you are the few that doesn't come in black tie while the majority does.

This is a good learning experience for life so I would first look at the history of this event, have, in the past, everybody not worn skirts even if they say not recommended? If so I would find some pants.
