We had jackets just like those when I was a collegian. Of course, that was 20 years ago. It was awesome because each group had their own color: Tri Sigma= purple with white trim, Alpha Xi Delta= Dark blue with yellow trim, Sigma Kappa- Maroon with lavendar trim, and Alpha Gams were yellow with red trim. When I was going through recruitment I would get sooooooooooo excited when I saw a yellow coat walking across the street! "Oh my gaw, there's an Alpha Gam!". In fact, I used to sit in my boyfriend's dorm room and stare out the window, watching for the yellow coats.
I'm not sure which year they got rid of them. Probably the year after I wasn't an advisor anymore..lol. Us old alumnae fought those young girls about the tradition of the yellow coat. Now though, they all have different stuff, nobody has anything the same and they don't even use our colors. What kind of branding is that?
Those coats were especially great during the Grease recruitment skit
And, by the way, my coat still hangs in my closet today, the coat closet, so I see it every time I open the door. Our sister-mother's used to give them to us on Initiation Day and it was so special. So, I have my coat, embroidered name and all. Those coats are great.
