What to Pack
Thinking about your Convention outfits? Us too. Check out the attire categories below for inspiration.
Resort Wear
National Officer Welcome
Wednesday, July 15
As you plan your Palm Desert resort wear, consider a blend of mid-century modern glamour and breezy desert chic. Wear your best vacation pieces, from linen dresses to breezy pants. Think fun, elevated travel attire.
ZTA and School Spirit Casual Attire
Travel and Kickoff: Thursday, July 16
Sisterhood Event: Friday, July 17
During the day on Thursday, attire is casual while showing off your ZTA pride. Collegians are encouraged to wear school spirit clothing. Alumnae are encouraged to wear ZTA attire. Attire is informal and comfortable, yet clean and professional. You can wear T-shirts, jeans, buttons, etc.
Dressy Badge Attire
Alumnae and Collegiate Crown Chapter
Thursday, July 16
Part of the glamor of our award dinners is dressing the part! For the Alumnae and Collegiate Crown Chapter Dinner, we’ll get a little more dressed up than our daytime business looks. Think best summer dress or something you would wear to a nice dinner. Pick something that makes you feel confident.
Think Pink® Business Attire
Friday, July 17
We'll celebrate our commitment to breast cancer education and awareness with a Think Pink Day. We’ll still conduct business as usual, so please wear your best professional pink business attire.
Cocktail Attire
Honor Ring and Foundation Awards
Friday, July 17
The Honor Ring is the highest individual recognition a Zeta can receive, so let’s dress accordingly to celebrate these women! For this dinner, dress in your best cocktail attire. We will also be recognizing our Founders Club recipients at this meal.
Ritual Service Attire
Saturday, July 18
Your dress or blouse and skirt/dress pants must be chalk white, not cream, ivory, or neutral. Out of respect for our ritual services, be sure your attire is classy and fits you well. If you choose to wear a sleeveless dress, bring a white cardigan to cover your shoulders. Be mindful and pack appropriate undergarments. Add a slip if your fabric is very thin.
Shoes must be all white, even from a side view. Metallic buckles, other adornments, or cork heels won’t work.
Business Attire
Saturday, July 18
We will primarily wear business attire during the day. This is a chance to break out your nicest badge attire. (Pssst! Don’t forget your badge!) Go with what you’d wear to a business meeting rather than a sundress you might wear to a picnic.
Formal or Semi-Formal Attire
Recognition Banquet
Saturday, July 18
The Recognition Banquet, also known as the Silver Awards Dinner, will be our biggest affair of all. Semi-formal or formal attire is perfect for the occasion. Show off your style! Zetas will be rocking everything from little black dresses to sequined shiny gowns.
