Room for Individual Growth?

[Kansas City]

Being tired or living off campus shouldn't be an excuse for not dressing appropriately in any situation. Understanding that expectations of “proper dress” may differ across the country, I’m sure that you could find something that is both appropriate and comfortable to wear on the particularly long days when you just don’t feel like it. Being part of a group means playing by their rules. I’m just sorry that you feel you cannot express your individuality in a way that appropriately matches those rules.

As far as the stomach comments, are these only an issue when people are dressing up or do they occur in everyday situations (classes, library, etc.)? I can't seem to draw the line between the two points you are trying to make.

My chapter wasn't required to dress up on Mondays when we had formal meeting, but we were on a point system and we could earn a point for wearing badge attire all day instead of just to meeting. If dressing up all day is optional, why not wear comfy clothes to class and put your badge atttire in your bag if you have to go straight from class to meeting?
