Because Triangle Degree is a special and meaningful ceremony when new members are welcomed into the Tri Sigma sisterhood, so the attire should be respectful, appropriate, and beautiful.
Your carry-on needs to be gate-checked. What should you do with your badge before handing over your bag?
Remove the badge and keep it with you.
