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

Every chapter has its own vibe—and your look should reflect it. Some line brothers/sisters wear coordinated colors, matching shoes, or signature accessories. Not sure what’s expected? Your brothers & sisters. They'll guide you.

✨ Accessorize with Intention

What you wear around your neck, on your lapel, or even on your wrist should mean something. These details matter.

• Lapel pins & shield pendants – Classy and powerful

• Crossing stoles or sashes – Perfect for presentations & grad shoots

• Footwear – Clean, polished, and true to the tradition of your org

Neophyte Presentations: Unity Meets Style

Probate looks are about precision and power. From matching sweaters, gloves, and shades to custom jackets and choreographed entrances, these presentations are statements.

But once the formal part’s done? You’ll want a relaxed but refined fit for photos, celebrations, and family hugs. Bring an extra tee or jacket just in case.

Pro Tip: Confidence Is the Fit

No matter what you wear, remember this:

You only cross once—so wear your pride like your letters: bold, respectful, and full of purpose.
