At my grad school, you march in commencement wearing the hood of your bachelor's degree, because technically you are a "degree candidate" until they hand over the diploma at the end of the day. So I had a black hood lined with crimson (school color) and wore a black gown with purple crow's feet (representing a degree candidate in the field of law). It's fun to see the amazing robes of professors who got their PhD's from overseas universities; one university in Spain has a hat that's like a gold lame wig.
All the professional schools march carrying emblems of the profession -- globes for the school of goverment, toothbrushes for the dental school, play money for the business school. We in the law school carried inflatable sharks!
