I did find someone who sells the sweaters now: http://www.thegreekshop.com/sweaters.html

It must have been an Atlanta style with the pullover only--I had a cardigan as did a few other BGLO sorority members on my campus. The guys mostly ordered the pullovers. Sorority/Fraternity sweaters were not as popular when I was an undergrad mainly due to cost. The crossing jackets were less expensive so most of the BGLO members who crossed around the time I did ordered jackets. When you look at the photos from the early 80s you will see far more jackets than sweaters. Also notice that most of the pics don't have members throwing handsigns. Hmm...maybe that is another topic starter. When did throwing up a handsign become the only way that BGLO members like to take photos? You see formal attire and handsigns; service project participation and handsigns; standing outside to enter church and handsigns. LOL
By the way...thanks for the sweater vendor link.
