Which colors work best for your sorority?
Most sororities have guidelines that include the sorority colors.
Our first tip is to go through these guidelines and mark the colors that are mentioned so that you can show your support for your sorority during church events by knowing which colors to wear.
Be ultra-careful about getting the exact shade right. For example – a red could be a scarlet, a rose, a cherry, a brick red, or any one of the other thirteen shades of red!
So when picking the color of your outfit, pay attention to the color shade. You don’t want to be the one showing up at your first church event in a sorority formal dress that’s the wrong hue!
Once you know what colors you can play with, it’s time to find the right style. For example, Alpha Kappa Alpha, the largest sorority house, adores pink and green.
Sisters of Sigma Gamma Rho look stunning in blue and gold, while the beauties of Delta Sigma Theta proudly wear red and white! Zeta Phi Beta’s ladies represent their sorority by wearing blue and white that they pull off so well.
When in doubt, formal is the way out
For an event where you want to flaunt your sorority colors, you can never go wrong with a suit. Now, we know what you’re thinking – suits come in different styles, types, and combinations, so what makes a suit suitable (no pun intended!) as sorority formal dresses?

Our advice is to pick a straight or loose fit over something tight, ensuring comfort as well as style. This chic red pantset by Dorinda Clark-Cole is an excellent choice, so all eyes will be on you, my dear Delta Sigma Theta sister!

Dress to Impress
There are so many styles to choose from when it comes to your sorority convention dresses, and we know it can all get a bit overwhelming. If you’re the kind of lady who likes to play dress-up, our experts are here to help you decide what look to go for!
For a chic look, consider a tailored dress with a matching jacket. Pick a cut that suits your body shape and personality, and all the sisters at your event will be eyeing your sorority formal dresses!
Listen up, you ladies of Zeta Phi Beta! This spotted blue and white jacket dress oozes class, and you can take off the jacket if things start to heat up!
If it’s going to be a long and warm evening, we recommend picking something loose and flowy. A sleeveless dress is definitely an option as sorority formal dresses. The Boldly Folded Shoulders pink dressy dress with shoulder detailing or the All The Dots sundress in pink is ideal if you’re heading for a meeting at the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
If you’re from Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and want to be the lady in red, we’ve got you covered too. The stunning Make An Entrance formal dress with lace is a great way to show some grace!
High necklines and low hemlines can be fun too! Whatever you wear, remember to wear it with the confidence of the beautiful lady you are, and you will look stunning no matter what.
You can always accessorize by adding a cardigan or light sweater to your sorority formal dresses to keep things warm yet dazzling!
Be your own brand
Just because you’re going for a sorority convention doesn’t mean you have to wear a set outfit. If you’re someone who likes to get creative, you can throw a blouse over a pair of pants or a skirt and still look the part.
That’s the beauty of sorority formal dresses! Mixing and matching can look just as heavenly as a three piece suit.
A clean white top with short sleeves or long sleeves looks both formal and fashionable. Pair it with a set of chic pants or a bow skirt to complete the look.
Top tip: Depending on the occasion, jeans can work too! Avoid the ripped and faded variety, and remember what we said about sorority colors? Make sure the color matches!
Finishing the look
Complete your sorority formal dress with a matching handbag. Here, all our experts agree small is the way to go – carrying a big bag can look clumsy and out of place.
A clutch is the safest way to go. Pick this textured and trimmed piece to match your sorority formal dresses, or if you’re prone to losing things, you can go for one with a shoulder strap.
Top tip: A clutch looks great but doesn’t have much space to carry things. Have a word with your sisters attending the sorority formal and share the load – you bring the lipstick while another brings the eyeliner. One for all and all for one!
You’ve got the look
A sorority is all about being part of a community. They create a feeling of belonging and togetherness. But that doesn’t mean you need to lock away your personality and the person you are. You can follow the rules and still be a leader.
At the end of the day, the most important thing to remember is to pick sorority formal dresses that represent you and what you stand for. It should make you feel confident while being comfortable.
Follow our suggestions, and you’ll advance your professionalism as well as your personal style.
