Next campus trend?

[GPhiLlama]

Kids here run the gamut, from dressy (mainly those of us who are in pin attire) to the jammies. I normally just wear jeans and a comfy tee (I have to go to work right after class, and I build sets), but during finals, it's jammie time!

Maybe this prof should also lecture some of his collegues. I've seen profs in tattered jeans and birkenstocks. I've had profs that look like they belong to the Hell's Angels. Not to mention the personal hygiene problems that some of them suffer from.

I don't know if he's tried that or not, but most of the profs I know aren't of the birks and tattered jeans set. One woman wears knee boots a la Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman", however.

People wear pajamas at my school all the time...I used to as well.......at least until our sorority decided that wearing pajamas to class had become an issue and didn't put forward a positive public image of the sorority and added a no pajama rule to the standing bylaws....lol....oops.

It's not all profs, of course. I have had the hippie weirdo profs and profs that dress in a professional manner. I'm just saying, it's not always the kids who are lazy.

Glad my sorority doesn't tell me what to wear and what not to wear.

I think the velour sweat suits like the Juicy ones are really just "nice" pajamas. people wear those to my office. So, it's a trend that's all over the place!

Here at Rio, everyone is in friggin' PJ's! I think the only time people actually dress in "regular" clothes is when they go out to the bars...

Glad you like to criticize mine.

Well so I did. But why should a sorority have any right to tell you what to wear and what not to wear? I thought the point of sisterhood was that you loved each other for who you are and didn't judge each other superficially.

My sorority loves our sisters no matter if they're wearing pjs, jeans, dresses, etc.

Would you force your biological siblings to only wear certain things? No.

Why should a sorority be different?

G Phi B is a great sorority, and my best friend is one. Her chapter must be more lax because I've seen GPhi's wearing PJs to class before.

LOL! This image of sorority girls sitting class wearing nothing but pasties with tassels and crotchless panties just popped into my head. And, of course, a lavalier to complete the picture

But I guess it would be judgmental to suggest to a sister that maybe giving the prof a beaver shot isn't exactly the best way to enhance the sorority's image

Not telling you how to run your sorority, but sometimes having standards is a good thing.

LOL! I can recall getting furious with my brother for trying to wear jeans to church. Yep, I ALWAYS made sure he was dressed appropriately. I think my Old South southern family rubbed off on me in that respect.

YeaH but that's not PJs, that's undies. THere's a difference.

I suppose you should just thank your lucky stars that you weren't initiated into a sorority in this part of the country. I don't know any sorority on my campus that didn't have standing rules for sisters--to make suggestions about what was and was not appropriate dress, behavior, etc. for certain situations. It wasn't like we stood over our pledges with a switch and threatened to beat them down if they wore white shoes after Labor Day (heaven forbid!), but more like gentle guidelines of what the campus norms are and how we wanted our chapter to be represented.

Note to the GC regulars: I do not intend to spark yet another "North vs. South" debate with this post! Please let's not beat that dead horse yet again.
