FYI - the term "redneck" comes from miners in West Virginia who wanted to organize unions. Those who did, wore red bandanas to work. Ever since I learned that, it doesn't have quite the sting to it.

But while Sweet Home Sorority Name is a fun theme, it's pretty over-used, IMHO.

I know we say this a lot, but it depends on the school. I'm sure it's over-used at a lot of schools, but you never know about hers!

Interesting. I had always heard it was used to refer to the farmers (and others who had to work outdoors) because their necks were frequently red from being in the sun. I thought it was then embraced later by people supporting politicians etc. who wore the bandanas, but I had no idea that's how the term originated.

But to the OP, if you do stick with this theme, I wouldn't go with the red plaid and jeans.
