URGENT help with what to wear for formal dinner!

I think college age is certainly an appropriate time to learn the value of the LBD (little black dress)

What they said!

Sororities have what is known as, "pin attire" or "dressing to pin", in other words, clothes that are suitable for wearing with your pin. (actually, as I type this, I am wearing my pin at work--dressed in a black business suit, pink scoop neck shell, black dress boots). At the event you describe, I suspect a lot of women will be wearing their pins, which means they will be in dresses, slacks or skirts w/ nice sweaters. If it is a formal dinner, I would wear a skirt/slacks and nice top or the LBD, little black dress someone suggested above. Not cocktail wear, but church/business meeting wear. Jeans are not always your friend.

Have a great time!

Agree with what everyone else has said. I would also lean toward something conservative/professional rather than a "going out" outfit, if that helps guide you. Have fun!
