Ah, bourbon. You hit on something I care about. SEC football? Eh.

If we're sticking with the orginal topic and talking about rush attire, then I agree completely, but if blanket statements about adult dress are being made, then I think it's a different story.

When I was in college, dressing up was expected for football games, which were considered social affairs as much as anything. You didn't dress up for basketball games, which were (and are still) considered much, much more important events sportwise than football games. I don't think dressing up for football happens nearly as much as it used too -- it was on the wane even then.
I would say chapters at schools in North Carolina I have some familiarity with and observation of certainly know how to dress nicely when the occasion calls for it, but I would not say that overall expectations match up with the SEC as some have described them here.
