I was a rushee at the very same time and also had a few pairs of those culottes, only we called them gauchos. Some of them were in sets with matching vests; I remember having one in brown corduroy. I also remember sets of below-knee-length plaid skirts with matching shawls, which often were worn tied around the waist.
Jungle Gardenia! Haven't thought about that in ages. I remember my roommate's perfume was Aliage, but I was still wearing Love perfumes.
My initiation was in January 1978 because KD required grades beforehand, and that January was so snowy that school was closed at least once. I didn't think such a thing would happen in college. I think the snow might have affected the timing of White Rose Week, the week between our second-degree ceremony and initiation, and it certainly led to some epic campus-wide snowball fights.
