I don't think you can do it with just the permissions. You need to use
flags.

man chflags

I think the 'uappnd' flag is the one you want.

% mkdir protected
% chmod 775 protected
% chflags uappnd protected

The -o shows the flags.
% ls -lod protected
drwxrwxr-x  2 samsmith  staff  uappnd 68 Jul 29 14:33 protected/
