I'm pre-historic, I guess. Way back in my day, taking a girl or roomie to formal was not a conscience thought. You took a man, period. And if you did't have a man, one of your sisters found one for you. Fraternity men were always available during "formal season." There was one -- we called him Jumpin' Jim -- who called every chapter's social chairman to let her know he and his suit were ready. The favors were always glassware that had the crest, event and date imprinted on it. We were convinced that Jim was nothing more than an avid collector of sorority glassware.
