Basically it's a little tunic type thing that you wear over your gown. It's white with an orange bent on it. You can see it here: It's actually quite nice. If you want to wear one, you write us (Stanford Tau Beta Pi) a deposit check for $20, which is returned you when you return the stole. Or if you want to keep it, we will just cash your check. We need to know how many to order. Please sign up here by Friday, May 16th. |
