It's my understanding that Hampton has somewhat of a dress code anyway. They are a throw back, in a sense, to what many HBCUs were in an bygone era, it appears to me, in terms of trying to shape habits of deportment,etc. to prepare one for professional life. I think this is a positive thing overall.
An aside: back in the '90s when I was living in Southern Cali, I attended a District Council meeting of the Fraternity. The attire was (and is) business: suit and tie. An undergrad came in in casual attire and sat down, slumping in his chair, as if he was in a,high school classroom. The chair immediately stopped the meeting and instructed the young brother what was expected of him in group of professional black men in Omega.
