Parents Weekend Game Day Attire: Help Request

Pretty silly request here to anyone with experience with sorority Parent Weekends...
My default wardrobe when I’m not at work or a wedding/funeral is a golf shirt, shorts and visor. That said, our daughter just joined a sorority at UGA and I’m not sure if there’s an unwritten policy on how dressed up Dads are for these types of events: specifically the 9/14 home game vs Arkansas St.
Are there parents in dress shirts & jackets or is it pretty laid back (shorts/t-shirt)?
Just looking to not embarrass her (more than usual) with her new sisters the first month of college. Thanks All!

I’m sure a golf shirt (might need to ask Bank if it should be 2 or 3 button), shorts and visor is fine. Just don’t wear the white New Balance/Nike dad sneakers and you’ll be good. 😉
I’m dying from the part about the number of buttons on the golf shirt 🤣🤣🤣 many UV’s to you good sir
golf polo & shorts are fine.
Consider it business casual // Red or Black (UGA themed) Golf/Polo style shirt. Khaki pants (safe) or shorts (still ok.) Brown loafers / boat shoes.
Things to avoid: Jersey, T-Shirt, Athletic Shorts or Pants, Sandals with socks.
All else fails, just check in with your daughter. If there's a more formal lunch or dinner to it, you may need to pack a sports coat. Some guys will probably have a sports coat on anyways, but I personally wouldn't advise it for a day game.
What sorority is she pledging? Golf shirt, khakis or shorts, boat shoes, and a visor should suffice for the game day tailgate. Bring a sports coat for dinner on Friday & Saturday night since I would assume they'll have some sort of social as well.
Button up, no tie, khakis, dress shoes. Then bring sports coat
If you do go with golf shirt, khakis, and a visor, make sure you can tuck the shirt in. Also, no cargo shorts. Think "what would I wear to a yacht club" almost. Need to look "neat" vs. relaxed.
go with some linen shorts instead of khaki shorts
cleaner look and will be more comfortable
I wore khaki shorts and a polo to my daughters. Seemed to be the norm...
Black Tie tux and you have to wear to and through the game.....sitting on the North Side of the stadium during a 3:30 game. It's called Sorority Dad Hazing....
Go for this look. Cannot go wrong with Smails:
It's still early September. May be too hot for all that... If you're paying for her school and sorority I say dress however the he!! you want.
No Jorts!!!!!!!
Without straying off the topic to far , how much should I be putting back when it’s my daughters turn at all of this sorority stuff? I’m hoping for the best but know it’s not cheap either
@razorachilles Greek female alumna here; polo and khakis is fine for the game. Definitely pack a sports coat, button-down and khakis for the weekend. There will be a dressier event at some point. Tie is typically optional. Don’t sweat it too much, though. You see varying degrees of dress. I hope you have fun!
@BiggerBadDawg are you referring to dues? Or the cost of rush? I think it’s about 100 bucks to rush (from what I can remember). She will need cute clothes, but you don’t have to spend a ton on that! Dues range from $1500 to $6000 a year but it depends on the sorority. The good thing is that whenever she lives in the sorority house (sophomore year) you will save a lot on her room and board that year. It was cheaper for me to live in the house than the dorms.
