Our meetings vary depending on what Monday of the month it is:

1st Monday of the month: Formal... Dress or skirt, hose, closed-toe shoes. Pin of course!

2nd Monday: Semi-formal... a nice skirt, no hose, shoes can be open-toe.

3rd Monday: Business... Dressy slacks or a skirt.

4th Monday: Open meeting... wear whatever you want!

Our chapter dresses casually for "regular" chapter meetings once a month. Same goes for cultural outings, depending on the outing. For ritual meetings, we wear dressy clothes.

We also wear dressy clothes for special occasions, such as Sweetheart Gala, Founder's Day, Fall Tea and other City Council events.

My chapter has a formal meeting every other week, and informal meetings on the off weeks, though attire is similar.

Formal attire- all black; nice dresses, slacks or skirts with nice heels. The girls are asked to wear colorful jewelry so the black doesn't seem too meloncholy.

Informal attire- nice slacks, capris or skirts with a nice top/blouse and nice shoes (heels). Basically almost like formal dress, except it doesn't have to be all black. No denim.

Occasionally we wear "KD attire" to our meetings, which is a KD shirt of some sort with jeans.

For our Tri Sigma meetings, we wear business attire every week. Once a month we have a ritual meeting where we wear white. Sometimes during the semester, once or twice, we have an informal meeting where we wear letters and jeans.

I was amazed how much the dress code is different by just chapter.

Informal Chapter Meeting- In my Sigma chapter we had meetings on Sunday nights so it was typical to see sisters in a Sigma shirt and jeans or even pj pants if they lived in the hall our suite was in. As long as you had a Sigma top of some kind and everything approiate was covered all was good.

Formal meetings- Badge attire, no flip flops, denim of any kind, short skirts/ dresses, nothing too "revealing", always wear lavilear and badge

We don't have a dress code for chapter meetings. Everyone knows that chapter is a serious environment and they are expected to respect that. One thing that helps keep chapter business-like is that we end each meeting with "Good & Welfare." This is when we tell everyone about our past week or any funny stories that have happened recently. You can talk about anything you want during YOUR G&W, but you are expected to be quiet during everyone else's.

We may dress like slobs but even Fun has it's proper place at our chapter meetings.

We always wear "what you would wear to an interview," which is actually a pretty good excuse when shopping as the outfit you want to buy works for chapter every week AND job interviews (and therefore you just HAVE to buy it).

Our pin attire was either a dress with hose & heels, or good pants suit. We were permitted one informal meeting a month, and the attire depended on the "activity". If we were having a guest speaker, it was still pin attire, although a skirt was allowed. If it was causal (ie: during Recruitment), then almost anything was fair game - as long as you wore some sort of shoes!

Our meetings were casual...whatever you were wearing that day. Officers dressed a little nicer.

Occasionally we'd have theme meetings (like pajama party) and we'd dress to fit the theme.

All of our meetings with rare exception were shirt and tie. There were very specific rules as to dress code. I'm not sure what they do these days.

We have 3 different levels of dress.
Formal Pin Attire is no jeans, cords, khakis or flip flops, and hose.
For Informational or Program Chapter wear it's just no jeans or flip flops.
Fun Chapter we can wear whatever we want.

Dress to pin for weekly business meetings: No denim, chinos, sneakers, or strapless of spaghetti strap tops, shorts/skorts, cleavage, midriff, thighs and butt unexposed, no tee shirts. Pin over your heart, clean, pressed clothes. Tasteful, classic clothing.

For membership education workshops (about one a month or one every couple of months, you were allowed to dress in letters and chinos, and not "dressed to pin.")
