Etiquette
Dresscode
The dress code at the annual ball is a white tie or an evening gown with academic medals or ribbons. Evening gown should be full length, the hemline going under the ankles. Handbag should be strapless and fit the occasion. Shoulders should be covered during the main event. Gloves can be worn but not during dinner. A dark lounge suit is also sufficient and it refers to a black suit with a white shirt and a light-colored tie. Academic decorations, such as medals and ribbons, are traditionally part of the annual party attire. Decorations should be worn according to the recommendations of the organization that bestowed them. In our epic herring breakfast the dress code is much more casual. Dress according to the magic forest theme, the more chill and sillier the better! Or just come in your overalls. That’s good too.
Manners
The annual ball is a prestigious event, and you are expected to follow proper manners. Toastmaster’s and song master’s speeches should be followed quietly and attentively. However, outside the official program socializing with your tableside company is encouraged throughout the event. Guest speeches are saved for the dedicated slot in the official program and you may request permission from the toastmaster during scheduled breaks. Songs can also be requested from the song master during breaks only. Songs always start from silence and lyrics follow given songbooks; no extra verses are sung during the main event. You may leave your table freely during the scheduled breaks. Otherwise, it’s polite to request permission from your closest tableside company. Don’t move during songs or speeches. Toasting is done after each song. Toast by lifting your glass and nodding towards the person you are toasting, preferably making eye contact. Start by toasting with the person across your right side, then left across you, and then straight in front of you. Never toast with an empty glass.
