But if you're talking about "well-chosen ties" distinguishing the chinos-clad loafer-wearing 22-year-olds at a standard social function (campus party, bar, football game, hanging out at the house), then no, I wouldn't "appreciate" it so much as think, "wow, those guys are UP-TIGHT." It's not that serious, fellas. You're 22. Throw on a tshirt and a pair of jeans and play some pick-up ball on the front yard. Throw some darts at the bar. Chill out, for heaven's sake, you have the rest of your life to make sure you get the stick stuck up there good and tight.

Well, I think everyone in the SEC dresses up for football, although it looks like it may be a little less so than it used to be; with parties, it's just going to depend on the event; for being out at a bar I doubt they're wearing ties or sport coats, but it's probably a little better than t-shirts and jeans, but it depends on the bar; hanging out at the house probably is t-shirt and jeans.
I may need to go back and re-read the whole thread (well, picking up after the race debate stuff), but I don't think anyone said that college guys shouldn't wear jean in their day to day lives; just that a certain kind of SEC fraternity guy wouldn't be wearing them much after graduation, especially for social events.
