I've got to disagree with the sasquatch post about jeans as well. I was taught all growing up how to dress in every situation and to say that you shouldn't wear jeans or a t-shirt past the age of 22 is ridiculous. I own and wear as much Brooks Brothers, Ben Silver, J Press, Polo, Bill's, Barbour, etc. etc. as the next person..........but I still find plenty of occasions to wear jeans too. I wear T-shirts to concerts and to fish in, when I'm not wearing a PFG or other fishing shirt, all the time.

Honestly, I've been to schools and visited fraternities all over the South, many being some of the best on their respective campuses, and seen plenty of guys wearing jeans. I don't think the people that refuse to wear anything but khakis are overrepresented at all. I see the jeans, blazer/sport coat, and button up with loafers look all the time.

Would you wear jeans and a t-shirt to rush though?

I think that's where the advice came up.

And as I said earlier, I suspect there are more adult non-redneck guys in Texas wearing jeans than there are in the Southeast.

I don't think it's unusual for college guys any place to wear jeans in their day to day lives in casual situations, but I don't think they are still doing in very much once they are out of school and in professional jobs in the southeast.

No. You shouldn't wear that to Rush.

........and I understand not wearing jeans because of your professional job.
