Son wore his navy jacket with kacki pants and white shirt and tie a lot for fraternity events.

If you are looking for a black suit, Penney's has a line called something like City Streets (???), and you can buy the jacket and pants seperate but they are all cut of the same cloth. The jackets tend to run a little slimmer so they fit the teenage boys better than, say, Stafford. And you can get both Long and Regular sleeve lengths. It's less expensive and you can replace just the pants or the jacket if he grows out of them.

The only thing I can think the guys would wear a black suit would be for a formal.

If he's planning on joining a frat, I would purchase a navy blazer, kacki pants, a couple white shirts, couple ties, black shoes, socks and belt. IF he needs something for a formal, he could always go to a Penney's and buy the black suit.
