What color did your chapter wear for Prefs?

Cute, Lucy! And I love the fleur-de-lis name tags! We can only wear the UF-produced white rectangle nametags that we are issued through panhellenic.

It was 1971, and everybody was into "doing their own thing," so we wore (long) formal gowns, any style, any color. It was nice because each girl could chose the outfit that best suited her......but it gave the chapter no unity.
Next year, we had the same sky blue fabric, but each person chose her own dress pattern. Now THAT was a big success!
A few years later, as advisor for a chapter, I made a couple of dresses for girls out of a dusty blue polyester fabric (hey, it was THE fabric of the '70s!). Same pattern for everybody...they turned out beautifully.
All I've seen lately is black.
It's probably about time for a change!

I love nametags. Panhellenic is brand-new on our campus, so we don't have many restrictions about recruitment and such. I'm already excited about planning nametags for fall recruitment.

I seem to recall a Sigma Kappa chapter wearing lavender for pref. It was in an issue of the Triangle sometime around when I pledged, which was Spring 2004.

That would be beautiful! I'm picturing matching lavender formal dresses from David's Bridal...curse you, UF no-frills recruitment and your forbidding of mass ordering of dresses!

Typically Alpha Gam wears red dresses but my chapter decided a few years ago just to start wearing black because trying to get 60 girls to find nice dress that were the actual color of RED just wasn't working.
