11 Things a Girl Needs For a Red Storm Graduation at St. John’s University

Keep reading for 11 things a girl needs for a Red Storm Graduation at St. John’s University!

1. Your dress.

Make a statement underneath your gown. When the ceremony is over you’ll want to unzip it or take it off completely. Let your dress also scream “I did it!”

2. Shoes that won’t sink in the grass.

You’ll want to stand out in the crowd, but not with stilettos. The Great Lawn will chew them up and spit them out. Don’t worry about matching your footwear with your gown; just make sure they are comfy. I recommend wedges or flats. You can keep your balance with both.

3. Some ‘Solemates’.

If you still decide to go with heels, pick up a box of Solemates to guard your heel. These will prevent you from poking the grass and sinking in.

4. A cap you can call your own.

Decorate your grad cap with your favorite scripture, quote or monogrammed initials. Make your statement without saying a single word.

5. The gown.

Of course nothing says SJU graduation quite like the red gown!

6. Cords and stoles.

In a sorority, club or organization as an undergrad? Check with your executive board members to find out if they have cords or stoles to add to your gown for the big day.

7. A St. John’s lapel pin.

A free keepsake from St. John’s to you. This small accessory will look good on your lapel as you represent which college you’re graduating from.

9. Perfect hair.

If you’re rocking your hair straight, curly or wavy under your cap, be sure to add shine and styling spray to keep your hair frizz-free throughout the ceremony.

10. Your makeup.

You’ll want to be camera ready. Try a smoky eye or winged eyeliner for a classic look.

11. Graduation tickets!

These aren’t replaceable if you lose them. Put them in a safe place until it’s time to use them.
