Maybe I will bend a bit and give you the former, though not without reiterating the significance of the latter(thinking about the images of the well-dressed hunter posted by MysticCat; you all aren't running around like that are you?); and I still think that folks' ancestors would be surprised about the fashion today.

Certainly for women, my statement stands.

I agree that our ancestors may find some of the clothing that is worn today very surprising. And yes, I think for women it is dramatically different.

I just don't see it for a guy so much. Wearing shorts was probably unheard of back then, but for the most part, I don't see many changes.

Kentucky-University of Kentucky

Dress Code when on campus: We are a public university so there is no dress code, but the top sororities and fraternities can be easily distinguished by the attire they wear to class. Many people wear polos, lacostes or oxfords with needlepoint belts and topsiders or rainbows. If you are wearing a button down, it is tucked in not worn out.

At Football Tailgates/ Keeneland: Girls wear dresses. Fraternity pledges wear khaki pants, with oxfords, a tie, and a sport coat. The actives wear khakis or colored pants, oxfords, and ties or bow ties. Many guys are seen wearing their needlepoint belts.

At Formals and Monday night meetings: Formal attire is required for everyone.

I would be terribly uncomfortable cheering and such at a football game if I was in a dress and just..all dressed up in general. Its a football game..


I too, am from the good ole heart of Dixie and chose to go to school in Montana of all places.

there is generally one game where the student body wears shorts or skirts and the like, and all the other games you are generally in sweatshirts and layers, trying not to catch a cold or something!

For homecoming, when a fraternity and sorority pair up, they make a joint sweatshirt with both organization's letters and a theme relating to the overall homecoming theme and that is the only game that letters are worn to because of the drinking that is done by the majority of the student population.

Plus, our Greek system is very small (4 sororities and 5 fraternities) and so there is more of a trend towards blending in to the crowd over standing out.

you best believe though, that the games that are warm enough i am in my dress and heels like i was trained to do! :)

HEY! What do you have against your Rover? What model do you have?

LR2 -- it's small. After having a Mercedes ML, it doesn't live up to the expectations.
