<p>I got invited to a Semi-Formal dinner to a frat. </p>

<p>What should I wear? In this case, does “semi-formal” follow the traditional definition <a href=“http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Preprom.jpg[/url]”>http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Preprom.jpg&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

<p>In other words, do I need to wear a suit jacket? Or will some black dress pants, a shirt and a tie suffice?</p>

<p>If a jacket is required, is there anywhere I can rent on in Ithaca for cheap?</p>

<p>The brothers usually have jackets to start off the night. By the time the dancing starts it comes right off in a heartbeat =D</p>

<p>that pic is too formal. wear a suit with a normal tie (not that bowtie) and maybe a non-white shirt. depending on the frat it might be less formal, but im guessing you’re a freshman so its better to be better dressed to be on the safe side. all the jackets come off pretty early anyway.</p>

<p>if you want you can pm what frat it is and i’ll prob be able to give you a better idea of how they dress (some are known to be more formal dressers than others)</p>

<p>you obviously know the brothers (you may even have someones number). they wont penalize you if you call them up or text them to ask. better on the safe side. i would ask the brother who you feel most comfortable with, though</p>

<p>OP -That picture looks quite formal to me. You should tone it down for a semi.</p>
