Our State Sweetheart, Miss Sydney and her Court, Miss Ciara and Miss Megan welcome you to Florida DeMolay!

The following rules & regulations are set by the State Sweetheart Committee for inclusion in all Chapter Sweetheart programs, and must be observed by all young ladies attending DeMolay functions or representing the Order in any official capacity away from her home Chapter.

Dress Code:

A Sweetheart's attire should be in conformity to the dress code of the event, and of DeMolay decorum. As a DeMolay Sweetheart you are held to a stricter guideline of dress than most others. Remember you are a role model and should accordingly set a standard. It is always better to be "over dressed than under dressed". Sloppy, age inappropriate, too tight or small clothing along with garish makeup, nails or hairstyles is unacceptable. Body markings (e.g. piercings, irregular jewelry, tattoos) should be discreetly covered.

The following dress code should be followed at all times, and should be promoted to the other female visitors. IT IS NOT AN EXCUSE if a Sweetheart does not know the dress code.

Formal Attire

(Installations, Formal Dances, and Public/Formal Ceremonies):

1. A full length and properly fitting dress
2. State/Chapter Sweetheart regalia - sash & crown

Business Attire

(Chapter meetings, dinners and Chapter visitations or other Masonic events when formal attire is not necessary):

1. A properly fitting business suit, dress or skirt/pant/top combo
2. State/Chapter Sweetheart regalia - sash & crown if wearing a dress/skirt (sash only if in pants)

Appropriate skirt or dress lengths are:

bottom of the dress or skirt and the top of the slit should not rise past the ladies fingertips at her hands at a casual placement at their side. This is a very lenient code but please realize that when you sit, you are to sit properly to remain properly covered at all times.

Casual Attire

(Athletic tournaments, fun activities and when the other two above don't apply):

1. Properly fitting nice jeans or shorts are acceptable - the same rule applies to shorts as with skirts - the length should be equal to finger tips when arms are casually at your side and no holes; Full-length tops (no bare midriffs)
2. If you have a DeMolay shirt, you are encouraged to wear it to promote the organization.
3. You do not need to wear your sash or crown at these types of events.

Swimming Suits:

If you decide to go to any public pool with DeMolays, you will need to wear a proper cover up to and from the pool. If your swimming suit ties, these need to be double knotted to prevent accidents. Remember, you are still in the spotlight.

Any discrepancies with the dress code or violations of the dress code can and will be addressed by the Chapter Sweetheart Advisor, Chapter Advisory Council Chairman, Executive Officer, and/ or the State Sweetheart Coordinator. Violations of these stated rules can be cause for suspension or removal from your position. Your appropriate behavior and attire will display a positive image of the DeMolay Sweetheart program.
