We had the guys in purple, the girls in white (school colors). The tassels were a mix of the two colors.
We weren't called in alphabetical order at graduation - it was guys in one row, girls in the next, and it alternated back and forth, so it actually looked nice with the alternating purple and white rows. A couple weeks before graduation, a seating chart was put in the main office, and all seniors could go and select where they wanted to sit. First come, first serve, of course.
Question - for college graduation, did anyone NOT wear a black gown? All Penn State students wear blue, and as far as I can remember (from pictures of all my friends' ceremonies), it's the only school I've seen that doesn't have black gowns.

I wore a black gown, but Columbia wears their shade of blue.

We rented our gowns. Everyone wore green, except for those who graduated summa cum laude. They wore white.

Those receiving baccalaureate degrees at UNC-Chapel Hill have worn Carolina blue gowns since at least the early 70s, if not earlier.
At NC State, they wear red gowns, though I don't know how long they've been doing that. UNC-Greensboro used to wear black, but switched to navy blue sometime in the last 20 years or so.
I think at Duke and Wake Forest, they still wear black. (Of course, Wake's colors are black and gold.)

Ironically, here's another one I just came across in Football Fan's latest thread, 'Tri Delta Sisters'... James Madison University apparently graduates in purple and gold:

At my university, undergrads wore dark green. Only those graduating with advanced degrees wore black.
