As older brothers and sisters are home on breaks, my current student will learn about college life.
Recently, one of my students learned that if you might want to join a fraternity at Georgia, you should avoid wearing cargo shorts. It was funny to me, and yet, the kind of thing that is likely to be very true and likely to surprise the suburban, not-necessarily-native-southern kids I teach.
I've got no problem with cargo shorts myself, and back when I was in school wearing cut-off army pants, which pretty much were the only cargo shorts, probably wouldn't have been criminally un-fratty for some groups although it would have been more common for the alternative, grunge-looking folks. Tighty-whities would have only been for members of the chess club, however.
