Too true! In the 70's, all sorority gear was basically the same, no matter which group you joined and no matter how much money you had. You could get a dark blue heavy shirt with sleeves to the elbows with gold sewn on letters, OR a blue snap up the front windbreaker with white sewn on letters or white silkscreened crest over the breast. We lived in those. Party t shirts were made, but we didn't wear them to class. You ordered stuff once a year, or the one store in town that carried greek gear had a few. But how many windbreakers did you need? People got one with letters as a pledge, then usually "traded up" to a crest after initiation.
Bid day gifts? looking back, they had that touching "made at home" look. A small glass jar with decal letters filled with M&M's, a small wooden plaque, hastily stained or painted in your colors, with the same decal, etc. We usually made a trip to the dime store on bid morning to get hershey's kisses, glass jars, etc. None of the houses gave out anything but pledge ribbons (to be worn to class until you were officially pledged and got your pledge pin) and Bid Day t shirts.
Re: the Dairy store web sites: MMmmmmmmm. Cheese. From the Dairy Store. Delivered..... Is there anything better than life at a Land Grant?
Did we ever hear anything about rush at KState? Is it over?
I kept asking my daughter if she needed a sorority jacket--that's how you identified people on campus--all greeks in their navy blue windbreakers!
