Is it to make yourself known among other greeks, like gangs do by wearing specific colors (Crips with blue, Bloods with red)? I mean, if its about dressing conservative and classier can’t all of us do that by simply wearing polos, shirts, and solid tees? What’s the obsession with designer labels? Please answer respectfully, fraternity brothers are most welcome to answer, I don’t want to ask my brothers simply out of humiliation for not knowing. Sorority sisters can also answer too. Thanks!!!

Really, you are old enough to be in college and haven't figured out that certain brands are in style while others are not. Labels shouldn't mean anything, but in fashion they do. I doubt that every piece of clothing you wear needs to be designer. Pepper in a few of these brands amongst regular polos and solid tees. BTW, this is the wrong thread for this discussion.
