My 2nd daughter was told to wear white underwear. She and her NM sisters concocted some idea that the chapter would be removing their underwear, so they all came to initiation with two pair of underwear on. The whole point of being told to wear white underwear was because those of us in the audience were tired of seeing polka dots, zebra stripes, etc. through the white dresses!

Total hijack/rant. This is a total pet peeve of mine. You are supposed to wear skin color bras/underwear underneath white to prevent the world from seeing your undergarments. White totally shows through. I don't understand why people don't get this!!!
(This is not directed at you in any way, rockwallgreek! So many people say this  )

The thing is, it has to be the color of YOUR skin, not what Bali or Maidenform or whoever call "flesh tone." If you're super duper pale, sometimes you're better off goig with white.

Me too! I aspire to someday have enough color to get to "flesh" as deemed by lingerie manufacturers. Thank goodness for Mystic Tan!
After many years of burn, peel, and repeat in my youth, I quit trying a couple of decades ago - skin cancer is much uglier than pale skin. The good news is now that I'm staring down the barrel of middle age, I look noticably younger than my friends who were sun goddesses. (If I do say so myself.)

When I initiated (2000), we had to wear white hose (as a chapter). They were certainly "out of fashion" already at that point, but surprisingly, in the next year or two when the vote came up in chapter to remove that requirement, it was met with MUCH resistance and if I remember correctly, failed the first time it was presented.

I'm betting because it was "Tradition."

I shouldn't threadjack, but this company makes lingerie that comes in 20 shades so just about everyone can find a color that matches their skin. They'll even send you a little card with the colors on it so you can hold it up and match yourself! I'm an "04"

It took decades before companies stopped basing "flesh tone" and "nude" on predominantly white women's skin tones.
Whether your undergarments are white, tan, brown, or black--look at yourself in the mirror from the front and back. Women's liberation, indeed.
