What to Wear for Crossing: Divine Nine Edition
Crossing into a Divine Nine organization isn’t just a milestone—it’s a moment. A moment steeped in legacy, pride, and a powerful sense of belonging. Whether you’re stepping into the light after weeks of hard work or supporting someone who just crossed, your outfit matters. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about representing something bigger.
Here’s your ultimate style guide on what to wear for crossing—tailored especially for members of the Divine Nine.
The Essentials: Classic Lettered Gear
That first post-crossing fit? Iconic. Unforgettable. Timeless.
✔ Twill Appliqué Tees and Hoodies
Bold satin twill letters are a rite of passage. More than just fabric, they carry legacy. Whether it’s a crewneck sweatshirt, T-shirt, or hoodie, twill appliqué gives your letters that authentic, dimensional look that speaks volumes.
New to the org? Start with a Crossing Over Shirt or Hoodie.
✔ Crossing Jackets or Cardigans
From line jackets to varsity cardigans, these pieces are more than outerwear—they’re symbols of identity. Choose a style that reflects both your fraternity or sorority’s traditions and your own flair.
Chapter-Specific Touches
