LOL! I have to admit that when I attended a Vanderbilt football game a couple of years ago I was taken aback by all the young ladies walking around in Lilys (Lilies? What's the plural for a Lily Pulitzer dress, anyhow?) and strappy sandals. I thought maybe they were planning to attend church afterward!
That look wouldn't have worked at my college where it was cold and rainy on most game days, but I did think they looked really cute.

At my alma mater (LSU), fraternity pledges were required to dress up for tailgating and the game. I personally thought this was pretty cruel as these boys were often in suits and it was HOT HOT HOT outside. IMO, it borders on hazing! But that's not the point...If a new member of a sorority was going as the date of one of these boys, she was expected to dress up as well.
That was several years ago and now it seems like dressing up for the games has become more common for all students, whether they are Greek or not. However, the majority of the students still seem to prefer their "Game Day Casual" look

Personally I think it's just as comfy to sit at a game in a sundress than in shorts and a tshirt. nice sundresses are made of lighter material, so they're cooler. Lol we're playing Kentucky tomorrow and I just got a memo saying we were expected to wear orange sundresses (b/c Kentucky's colors are blue and white) and look recruitment ready! lol! They don't make too many gator blue and orange dresses, or orange high heels! I love how nice sorority girls look at games though.

If at all possible, could y'all try to keep the score under fifty. But if y'all can't help yourselves, then at least wait until the forth quarter.
Go Cats!

I think if our Rush Chair sent us a memo telling us to wear a purple or gold sundress (or any sundress for that matter) we would have sent her a memo back that she was f*ing crazy. Anything nicer then letters and jeans would stick out like a sore thumb at WIU.

If we had enough school spirit at my college, and it were warmer, it would have been fun to dress up once or twice. But everyone seemed to wear a school shirt/sweatshirt at our games. When I went to my boyfriend's games at Pitt, it was the same thing-but more spirit of course!

lol well at UF not EVERYONE dresses up for football games. I think we dress up more for tailgating (especially if we love the frat!). I would say that a polo shirt is the most casual I've gone though.

I don't know if I shared this story before...an alumna from Louisiana Tech told it to me. She was a new pledge at the time and it was her first football game with the chapter. They also team up with a fraternity for their dates to the game. Well, girls were all dressed up in their skirts and dresses and were taking care of the finishing touches when her date walked in with a flask in one hand and tape in the other. She asked what it was for and he told her it was for her THIGH. All the girls were strapped!!! I about died from laughter.

Honestly, Arkansas isn't good at dressing up, but at least the top-tier greeks do to a degree
