Big 12 Recruitments

[QUOTE=Katmandu;1509764]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.

My bid day gift was probably a stuffed panda, end of story. I was social chair and it was a real big deal to order the right favor for Formal. We only had favors about 4 times a year - everyone had wine glasses, etc so I did something out of the box and got us red Rose Formal nighshirts. You know, v neck to the knees?

And, I wore my blue windbreaker with a stylish gray zip up sweatshirt layered underneath. And on Bid day we all got sweatshirts to wear while we serenaded the fraternities - hot red and white sweatshirts to wear in SEPTEMBER. That's what we did- we went out to eat, changed into jeans and the sweatshirts and the picture man followed us around to sing our songs we just learned as the sororities showed off their pledges to all the boys.

You had to wear the stylish gray zip up sweatshirt because it was so darned cold in Nebraska! 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!

We also got a white long sleeved Kappa Kappa Gamma sweatshirt on bid day--I have so many Pictureman pictures (who ever brought their own camera?!) of us in shorts wearing those sweatshirts with the sleeves pushed up as far as possible! You have to admit, a sweatshirt was a lot more useful in Nebraska than a t-shirt! When we went on our visit in February, we ate at Harper and my daughter said "I can't believe everybody in this place is wearing sweatpants!"

You can tell my kids are Southerners, they wear flip flops and shorts about 10 months of the year!
