I guess seeing that our organization uses the "bow tie" as apart of our image, I'm just curious to know am I the only brother wearing them? I was the only one who wore them when I was in undergrad. Do any of you brothers wear them?

I never wore bow ties in undergrad, but i have to say that in NC its a big thing. A lot of bruhs from the ME Province rock them real hard but no one from DG nor myself ever got into wearing them on the reg. Dont get me wrong, the bow tie thing is def hot, especially during a stroll or an event to sport it at.

Oh, I see now, Nupe. So it depends on the city. That makes sense though.

It depends on who makes you as a bruh too! My ADP made sure that the history of the bow tie was def respekted...one of the nicer lessons !

Yeah, I have quite a few too. I like matching the small accents with the color of the shirt.

Interesting. I guess it just depends on the chapter because my Dean never mentioned any of the history behind it while I was on line. I've always liked them, so I just started wearing them, but it was before I pledged Kappa. Nupes weren't wearing them at DZ so at the time I didn't know it was associated with the Fraternity.
