Croakies and whatever your pair of sunglasses are (costas, ray ban, maui jim, etc) If you're greek, this is the general dress because this is how we've always dressed. When I was a little kid I wore the same clothes (albeit smaller) that I do now. It creates a gap between the GDI's and the Greeks because you can easily tell who is Greek and who is not which is why we never wear "jerseys" and don't need party t-shirts.

Football games, pledges wear ties and a suitcoat. Most members wear ties and an oxford with some variation.

For chapter meetings, polo and pants. For ritual chapter, full dress (tie, button up, jacket, etc).

I have my own feelings regarding elsewhere but choose to keep them quiet in an effort to keep the thread on track. I don't care what other people wear, I know what looks good and what doesn't.

exact same goes for South Carolina, you will see fraternity guys wearing event t shirts though, by no means some kind of sweater with their letters all huge on it though or a hat like that.

you can usually tell the difference between a gdi and fraternity member, but a lot of people not in fraternities dress that way here too so distinctions aren't always clear cut
