I wouldn't want to live in any other decade. I'm sorry but the 60's was just dirty. Yeah there was free love, but look at what else there was. People lived in communes, women didn't shave, showering was not a daily task, etc.
In regards to the 70's, I have two keywords for you: Disco and Polyester. I choose to pass on that bad boy.

Huh? Back then at the SEC schools, and I attended 3, there weren't any hippies, unshaved women, unshowered people, etc.--it was just like today! Maybe they were dirty elsewhere but not there!
Same thing for disco and polyester--they may have made big splashes in the media, but I assure you that most of us were wearing mostly cotton.

You talk about stereotypes and urban legends! In Ohio there were a few "hippies" on campus, but the vast majority of people were just pretty typical college students.
You're absolutely right, Carnation.
The fact is that students (not only Greeks) were much more likely to wear the equivalent "pin attire" (as it is called today) on a regular basis than the jeans and tee shirts which are the uniform of today's undergraduate on most of the campuses I visit across the country.
I suspect most of the students of the 60's would be considered "preppy" by today's standards.
As for communes, I wouldn't have known where to look for one.
