What to wear to "Casual" orientation meeting
I have an orientation meeting for an Accounting Fraternity coming up. The event description says "dress casual," but I dont know what type of casual they mean.
For a bunch of college kids, they could take casual as shorts/jeans and a t-shirt. I understand that casual dress should mean a nice button down and slacks, but I dont want to go there and be overdressed if everyone is really taking the "dress casual" to the extreme, and of course I dont want to go in shorts and a t shirt if everyone else is going to be dressed in "real" casual attire.
Any ideas as to what to do, maybe something in between to play it safe?

mmm... i think this literally means casual - tshirt, jeans, whatever.
Is this just a social event to get information on the fraternity?

You can dress in a casual
You can dress in a casual button down (the type meant to be not tucked in) and wear some chinos. If it is casual just wear it out and roll up your sleeves and unbutton the first/second buttons of your button down. If it is business casual then button up and tuck in and throw on a tie.

Thanks for the responses so far. I'm also thinking it could possibly be actual casual in the way a college student would interpret it. Its just an informational kickoff meeting/social for an Accounting fraternity.
I was gonna go with a polo and jeans, but I could be way off on that.
Go with polo and jeans.
Go with polo and jeans. Believe me, no way in hell an informational meeting is business casual or dress.

I'm thinking thats what I'll do. You're right, considering that the description I read was meant for potential new members who probably have little to no knowledge on the varying levels of dress code, I think this "casual" actually does mean casual.
