If you've been in the academic world for awhile, you can often identify the degrees and schools of many faculty members at a graduation.

My s/o just received his MBA and made it a point to purchase a hood (it's an ugly brown/buff/tan color). He has plans to pursue a Ph.D.
My chapter of DSP
gives stoles to our graduating seniors. I was fortunate to be able to attend graduation this semester and was very proud to see my brothers in their stoles (the purple and gold really stands out against the black, even in a sea of 1,000 students).
There were a couple of sorority members who wore a beautiful light blue and white (silver?) stole. I wish I could have gotten a closer look...
And for the record, I fully intend on wearing my Deltasig stole, honors cord and I'm decorating my hat
