Group Halloween Costume Ideas Perfect for Your Sorority Sisters

Mary Shannon Wells

Halloween costume parties: They either strike excitement or fear. If you’re in college, you will have at least one Halloween costume party per year, if not more. Since costume parties can be intimidating—no one wants an Elle Woods situation—so the best strategy to take is the group costumes. And these group Halloween costumes were made for you and your girlfriends. You’ll have more fun accompanied by your best friends than anyone else, and these are the cutest costume ideas out there. Plus, these ideas would all be Mama-approved. There are funny group Halloween costumes, like “The Bachelor” contestants and characters from “The Golden Girls,” and adorable group Halloween costumes like vintage soda bottles, flapper girls, and Lisa Frank characters (really!). With these getups, you won’t have to buy an overpriced costume online. Since we know college students have little time and money, most of these ideas have quick and easy DIY instructions, and the materials aren’t expensive. Grab your girls and get ready for October 31 because these are the best ideas for your gang.
