Football Gameday Attire

[auakl]

With the rapid approach of college football season (!!!), I was wondering, what do Greeks typically wear to football games at your school? This question came up during a lunchtime discussion when several (non-Greek) co-workers mentioned that dressing up for a game was unheard of at their university. At Auburn University, at least in the mid-1990s, as a general rule we Greek men wore khaki slacks, a white dress shirt, tie and a blazer while our dates (overwhelmingly Greek women) wore nice dresses or similar pantsuits/blouses. Although it was absolutely miserable early in the season when gametime temperatures inside the stadium were 100 degrees with matching humidity (for those not familiar, Auburn is a SEC school in eastern Alabama), I thought it was great. Admittedly, my senior year my chapter finally broke down and allowed collared golf shirts for early season games because of the heat and humidity. I loved the tradition because 1) it was a tradition and at Auburn, almost EVERYTHING is a tradition and 2) it really set the Greek students apart from the general student population. I thought it projected a unique and classy image (although I’m under no illusion that all of us behaved in a classy manner regrettably) that was noticeable among the 85,000+ spectators. I’d love to hear what is normal at other SEC schools and though-out the country. Let’s hear it UGA, UF, Ole Miss and the East, Midwest and West, what is your gameday outfit?
