Random question about what clothes you get?

dvd…you will get everything you need, right down to your underware…which, by the way, are regulation tighty-whities.

If competeting on a varsity team, you will get your gear as well (a rare opportunity to wear your under-armour)

On I-day alone you will be issued a seabag that you will carry about from station to station…collecting gear, shoes and clothing along the way…it will come to just over 90 lbs by the time you get to huff it up 3 flights of stairs (that is running up, not walking up) to drop it off in Bancroft Hall.

You will need to bring a toothbrush, deoderant and a razor, along with a broken-in pair of white running shoes- nothing more, less is even OK. Forget anything else- cause even if you bring it, they will take it away until just before parent’s weekend…only then will you get it back, providing 1. it is “allowed” in your company, or 2. it was lost. If it is the former, you will be handing the stuff over to your parents, who will, in turn, carry it around with them the entire day before lugging it right back home.

You will get more uniforms than you know what to do with. You will even “earn” certain uniform pieces to wear as plebe summer progresses…like a new cover to replace the dixie cup, or the blue scarf to wear with your white works. BTW- you will learn to love your white works and will wish you could still wear them by the time you advance into the summer whites.

Oh- and has anyone told you about the uniform races yet??? ;)
