On Fridays, the sororities dresses up. I can see the badges then, but I'm curious about the Letter Day attire.

When I was a collegian (WAY back when) all sororities dressed up and wore their badges on Monday. I think that's a tradition that should be revived. We were taught that it should be letters or badge, not both.

I have no problem wearing my badge with "business casual" we do it at convention even. I have one that I wear as a pendant that's les dressy than my original one and I wear it all the time to work. As long as I'm not wearing jeans, I don't have a problem.

AND, dressing casual and "looking your best" are not mutually exclusive. I dress casual at work every day, but I still look my best.

Now, up here we are, in general, a much more casual society than other areas of the country........
