Yes there are clubs and events where men are expected to wear dress pants and ties. They are not the norm for 22 year old men on their weekends, however.
This is starting to remind me of the chapter consultant we had who criticized our "casual" dress and didn't understand why we weren't wearing silk blouses, dress pants and flats every day to class. BECAUSE WE HAVE HILLS. BECAUSE WE HAVE SNOW. BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING COLD. I would love to wear cute sundresses and sandals every day, but I'm not going to, because I'm not an idiot - I want to be warm.

Khakis are just as warm as jeans...
Sorry, but I don't believe that wearing jeans is appropriate for any career holding adult with GOOD TASTE in a social situation. I never said anything about ties or dress pants. Khakis are not dress pants. Jeans here bring up connotation of the blue collar working class or adolescence and those are both something to be avoided in many social circles (eg, Greek alumni).
