Forgive me if I am wandering too closely into secret territory...
If there are certain "things" your members (or some of them) must wear during your Ritual (for example, robes or gowns or pink lycra catsuits

), where do they come from?
Can you buy them through your National? Do you have to make them? Are you allowed to take the pattern to an outside seamstress and have them made there?
We are given a pattern, but the items we wear have to be made by an initiated Delta Zeta since they're pretty distinctive.
On a kind-of-related note, what would you think about pledges paying a certain amount, as part of their initiation fees, to purchase their own personal robe, gown or catsuit? I really like that idea because it would cut down on the "uh oh, what can I wear" dilemma most sisters have run into.
Thanks for your input; and Happy New Year!
