I'll be honest. I didn't even know about the hood thing until I went to buy my cap and gown. I didn't know what the other piece of fabric was for, so I asked the lady at the bookstore. She explained it to me. I later talked to my other co-workers who have their MSWs and they all said they were hooded, as well.
If you don't mind me asking (this goes for anyone who knows about Ph.D.s or any other graduate programs) if you already hold a Master's degree and have honor cords from both undergrad and graduate school, when you finish your second Master's degree, Ph.D., or law degree, do you wear any of the stuff from your prior graduations such as hoods and cords? I was thinking about this the other day.
