Best Sorority Group Halloween Costume Ideas for 2023

Oct 2nd 2023

The Halloween sorority party is coming up, and you’re stuck on costume ideas. What will you be for Halloween this year? And what about your sorority sisters? Let our group Halloween costume ideas from Greek Gear be your inspiration for this year’s costumes.

We have followed holiday party dress-up trends since we opened for business in 1999 to sell the best affordably priced Greek life apparel and accessories. From classic to newly retro, here are our 15 best sorority group costume ideas from Greek Gear to coordinate with your pledge class, family tree, or other group of sisters. Choose your favorite! These ideas will make for some great photo ops, too.

Barbie

Characters: Barbie, Midge, Mermaid Barbie, President Barbie, Physicist Barbie, Writer Barbie, Weird Barbie, Judge Barbie, Journalist Barbie, Diplomat Barbie, Doctor Barbie, Lawyer Barbie

Group Size: as many as you want!

There will likely be an influx of Barbies this Halloween - but who cares?! It was a great movie and the costumes are endless, fun, and can probably be put together with everything you have in your closet. Make it fun by assigning your sorority sisters a Barbie character that fits their personality or matches their major. Use the list above for ideas, or come up with your own!

Wednesday Addams

Characters: Wednesday, Morticia, Enid Sinclair

Group Size: 2-3 people

The popular Netflix series makes for a perfect Halloween costume for a smaller group. Throw on a black dress and a black wig and you and you can easily recreate the scenes from Jericho. See the Wednesday cast and character guide on ScreenRant for more character ideas if you want to expand your group. You could also go with the original Addams Family members: Gomez Addams, Morticia Addams, Wednesday Addams, Pugsley Addams, Uncle Fester, Lurch (6 people)

Renaissance World Tour/The Eras Tour-Inspired

Group Size: as many as you want!

RWT and The Eras Tour took the world by storm this year! Recreate your favorite looks inspired by Beyoncé or Taylor. Print out fake passes and hang them around your neck with a lanyard, make a fake microphone with tin foil and a toilet paper roll, and you're good to go.

The Wizard of Oz

Characters: Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Glinda the Good Witch, Wicked Witch of the West, Wizard of Oz, Flying Monkeys

Group Size: 7+ people

Wizard of Oz costumes, inspired by characters from the beloved book and movie, are fairly easy to make to create your group sorority Halloween costume theme. Think Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, Glinda the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch of the East and perhaps some flying monkeys.

These costumes can be surprisingly simple. For example, all you need to portray the Tin (Wo)Man is a silver leotard and silver tights or spandex, and a funnel (yes, the one from your mom's kitchen) that is spray painted silver. Put it on top of your head, and.... Voila! Tin Woman.

3 Blind Mice

Group Size: 3 people

Super easy to make, this sorority group costume theme (and fraternity group costume theme too) is one of our favorites. Each person needs: sunglasses, an all-black outfit, gloves, a cane and mouse ears. The gloves, canes and ears can be found at any Halloween store.

For apparel, we recommend blazers. You can grab a cheap blazer from your local thrift store or use that one in the back of your closet that you save for interviews. We won't tell Mom. Wear a body-con black skirt on the bottom. They're way comfy. Throw on some tights, heels, and you've got yourself a mouse outfit.

Disney/Pixar Movies

Pick a favorite movie and find your sorority costume theme! Retro favorites include Toy Story, 101 Dalmatians and The Incredibles.

  • The Little Mermaid - Ariel, Ursula, Sebastian, Flounder, Scuttle (5 people - plus as many other mermaids as you want!)
  • The Incredibles - Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash, Jack-Jack (5 people)
  • Toy Story - Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Mr. Potato Head, Rex (5 people)
  • Disney Princesses - Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine, Mulan, Tiana (7 people)

Social Media Apps

These costumes are also very easy to make: All you need is a color printer. Simply print out the large version of your favorite social media thumbnail, tape it to a shirt and wear a similar color for the rest of your outfit. No purchases necessary.

If you want a higher-quality costume, paint the symbol on the shirt, or order printed T-shirts. We sell design-your-own T-shirts at Greek Gear, so we can do the work for you!

Frat Stars

Poke fun at your guy friends and dress as preppy frat stars. One of the most low-maintenance ideas on this list, it is also the funniest and easiest (in my personal opinion). Each participating sorority sister can simply borrow the whole ensemble from her fraternity friend.

Retro Group Costume Ideas

Need even more ideas for your next costume party group theme? Think retro with old cartoons or pop music groups for your inspiration.

  • The Flintstones - Fred Flintstone, Wilma Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Betty Rubble (4 people)
  • Spice Girls - Baby Spice, Scary Spice, Sporty Spice, Ginger Spice, Posh Spice (5 people)
  • Power Rangers - Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Pink Ranger, Black Ranger (5 people)
  • Scooby-Doo Characters - Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, Velma (5 people)
  • Sailor Moon Characters - Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus (5 people)

Be comfortable and have fun!
