I asked my son about it and he said that a lot of people walked with friends' or siblings' past regalia. I was  ; as a former college professor, I can't believe that someone would do that. This son didn't graduate with honors--he was 0.2 of a point short--and we wouldn't have dreamed of heaping his older siblings' regalia on him.
Has anyone else heard of this? |
Wow. That is really weird. Why would someone do that? That is the same to me as wearing someone else's Greek letters when you never joined that org. or ever went Greek. Carnation, where do you teach as a Professor? My boyfriend has been looking at some great colleges for a Masters/Ph.D. program or Medical School. Any suggestions?
Well, I think that is weird someone would wear someone else's honors cords and whatnot. Did anyone ask the girl about it? I'm just as
as you are about that. Is that the new thing these days? You know, wearing other people's items that you did not receive or earn yourself?
