And PhiGam you're right, you'd get laughed out of town for croakies out here too. I'm shocked people still wear them at all.

Croakies are extremely fashionable in most of the south. The are functional too, I have some of the floating ones so that when I go fishing I don't loose my shades in the water.

I think the worst thing you can do during rush is nothing. You don't want the reaction to your name to be, "Who?"

Or, "The guy who left drunk and ran into ___'s car and just drove off?"
Or, "The guy who said he hated [insert race and/or religion]?"
Or, "The guy who looks like he came out of the New Haircut video?"

I've heard all these. Never good.

Disclaimer: This advice is based on experiences from a campus where, out of the 30,000+ student population each year, not one person uses the terms "croakies" or "gel head." Most would also be unable to define these terms.

Are Costas restricted to the south as well?

I wouldn't know, they're definitely popular here. GDIs have started to wear them en masse along with Oakleys (ugly). I prefer Ray Bans myself but I have seen some really nice costas (LOVE their blue frames).

Yes, GDIs are running all over the place with them. But every Greek has them here. I like the ones with the green frames. Oakleys are starting to die out around here, its pretty much 100% costas.
