<p>um I'm midwestern and I'm just going to dress reasonably. everyone else can go around with preppy clothes and there's nothing wrong with looking good but you shouldn't have to feel pressured to dress like everyone else
jeans are good for me</p>
<p>John, my D feels the way you feel. She attended another southern school this past year, and she simply dressed the way she liked to dress. She was often the only one in jeans in her 8 o'clocker, but she didn't care. She was amazed anyone could even think about fashion that early in the morning! She is transferring to Vandy & will continue to dress however she wants, which will likely not be what many would consider <em>typical</em> Vandy girl dress. No one will care (or if someone does, D won't worry about them).</p>
<p>I felt the need to let Midwesterner know about the difference in dress for guys in case he (or his/her son, if M is a parent) desires to dress that way. I don't want to generalize, but I suspect that many guys who want to pledge a fraternity might want to dress to fit in.</p>
<p>Obviously, Vandy is a big enough place that you can be yourself.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong> if you are planning on pledging you should know they require their pledges to wear collard shirts and nice pants during their pledge time... i dont know if they have to be khaki pants but thats what people traditionally wear.</p>
<p>You realize collared is referring to shirts that have collars, right? Collard...wow.</p>
<p>and you do realize that this is a discussion board not a graded essay and people type quick replies w/o really looking at what they have written, right? you mean to tell me you have never typed or turned in anything with a grammatical or spelling error? im going to call bull on that one.</p>
<p>Obviously my post was written with the assumption that was not a spelling error. Good job champ.</p>
