Per this thread about current "traditions" I have a suggestion for y'all:take this squabble offline and have a "wreck session." The "green" is the way to settle this!  Roo!

LOL, but I don't fight. And I certainly wouldn't entertain fighting a man.

This is a scene from Howard Univ. in the 1950s. Pictured are Ques and a coed. Note the "beanies," a fairly common item for Black Greeks at the time. This is a tradition but would current members of BGLOs today understand this? (Personally, I like the style.)

I think the beanies were popular across many GLO's at that time. I remember an alumna on our Housing Corp. showing us her purple beanie.

Exactly. There's always been cross-pollination across GLOs in terms of trends in dress and other traditions. This is nothing new. A diachronic look at this phenomenon will put to rest the "exclusivist" notion about certain things of this nature.

I have seen sweaters circa 1950's through the late 60's or early 70's. I think the beanies migrated into caps as time went on. I think both my grandfather and father had beanies. My mother did not and she pledged the Pi Chapter at Fisk University.
Looking through my parent's Fiskites yearbooks, I do distinctly remember they made all the men who pledged Omega shave their heads and that was early 1960's. In the Bethune-Cookman books that are circa 1970's I saw the line ups based on height of all the pledges.

I finally purchased one for myself at our last Boule in Dallas!
It was $$$$$$ but oh so worth it. It was the only piece of 'naila I picked up that year.
And I wear that big ole Super Sigma Sweater, even in the summer, as much as I paid for it. lol

On my yard it just wasn't the Omegas who shave the "dogs" heads--the term used for all NPHC frats going into the probate period. It wasn't until my senior year that they all got to keep their hair (afros) out of respect to the Black Power movement.
