I have seen sweaters circa 1950's through the late 60's or early 70's. I think the beanies migrated into caps as time went on. I think both my grandfather and father had beanies. My mother did not and she pledged the Pi Chapter at Fisk University.

Looking through my parent's Fiskites yearbooks, I do distinctly remember they made all the men who pledged Omega shave their heads and that was early 1960's. In the Bethune-Cookman books that are circa 1970's I saw the line ups based on height of all the pledges.
