Chapter Meeting Attire

What is the attire for your chapter meetings?

We alternate between letters/jeans for causual meeting and interview attire for badgewear meeting.

At Ole Miss, for chapter meetings, everyone gets all dressed up for chapter sit-down dinner and then chaper meeting is right after that. For agenda at AOII the girls can wear whatever the want as long as it is not work-out clothes.

Ours was pretty much...don't come nude.

Unless we had a ritual or something beforehand, of course.

Formal meetings = badge attire

Informal meetings = pretty much whatever. Since chapter was on Monday nights, most girls just wore whatever they had on that day. Sometimes girls had already changed into pj pants, etc...

One Monday when I was a pledge I was told by an upperclassman (ah, those days before gender-neutral language) that the kilt and loafers I wore to formal dinner were not appropriate. "You should wear heels," she informed me. I didn't take offense (she was kind of a pill), and though I don't remember specifically, I likely dressed up a little more.

By the end of my college days the dress code had conceded not only on slacks but also on jeans . . . and we insisted that bras be worn to formal dinner and chapter.

Oh, the 70's!!

Sorry to intrude, but I got interested when I saw this post on the first page...

For whatever it's worth, when I was an advisor for a fraternity chapter, we had three different "levels" of dress.

A normal meeting was "badge" attire, which is slacks and collared shirt.

A "Ritual" meeting (not necessarily initiation, but following ritual guidelines) was jacket and tie. We had one of those per month.

There was also an informal meeting once a month -- kind of like "casual Friday" where jeans, etc. were OK.

Of course initiations were always formal.

So, in a normal four week month, there were two normal meetings, one Ritual meeting and one informal meeting.

When a Chapter Consultant was in town, it was always a Ritual meeting because you got points on your evaluation for how well you performed The Ritual and the shape of your Ritual equipment.

Just don't come naked. I've shown up in my unisuit from rowing, padded bike shorts and a bike jersey, pj's...just as long as all of your bases are covered.

Shirt and tie - more special occasions, it was common for guys to wear suits.

Formal meeting is badge attire, and the actives have a pretty broad interpretation of that sometimes. For regular chapter meetings, we just say no denim.

When I was in school we did pin attire every week, but the chapter I advise does it only for the first meeting on the month and casual clothes (not work out stuff) for the other ones.

My chapter wore pin attire for every weekly meeting. Every once in a while we would have an informal meeting, which was whatever you were wearing that day...

At Clarion - we had two types of meetings:

Ritual:

Had to follow dress code. No pants (the push for this was toward the end of my time there - before it was no cord pants or jeans), skirt or dress only. PANTYHOSE. No shoes with tread or laces. Hair must be done, not messy. No spaghetti straps. Pin, badge or lavilier.

These meetings were in our union or sometimes in the basement.


Informal:
Clothing. Period. PJs, jeans, whatever. These are held in the house - first come first served on the couch space!

PAPER:
No meeting, read and sign the 'minutes' The best meetings.
