Back in the dark ages, when I was in college (mid sixties) people dressed up more for school, so you usually didn't see lettered t-shirts or sweatshirts except for things like Sigma Chi Derby Day or similar events. Instead, the sorority members all had uniforms that they wore one day each week. Most of these consisted of a dress and jacket, or a suit. Gamma Sigs wore ours on Monday, NPC sororities wore theirs on Wednesday, and members of Sparks (women) and Spirits (men) wore theirs on Friday. Sparks and Spirits were organizations that promoted the sports teams and ushered the football team onto the field at home games.
Some of our members, if they also belonged to an NPC sorority and Sparks, wore uniforms three days a week. We used to joke about it and say they got to spend less money on clothes.
