My sons wore all their UA T-Shirts throughout the year, even their bama bound ones. I love all the school shirts I see when I’ve visited - I think it shows pride in the school and great spirit.

Laralei, my engineering boys aren’t in fraternities and are from the midwest and basically they wore what they wear at home…t-shirts or polos, and shorts or jeans with gym shoes. I’m not sure if they are “in style” but they are comfortable. They both did take some dress up clothes, a suit they share (same size, same dorm), black pants and a long sleeve shirt and tie, and khaki pant with matching shirt for more casual dressy affairs. They dressed up for an OA nice dinner, honor society inductions, award dinners and for job interviews. (Unfortunately no dances…) I know my boys aren’t great keeping up with washing, so I made sure that each had 21 pairs of underwear and socks so they would have 3 weeks before they ran out. I also made sure they had a dozen shirts (figuring they would get some free ones or buy some at school), 5 or so pairs of shorts and 3 or so pair of jeans. Don’t forget to send a good rain jacket, and some outerwear for the winter days (it could be 30 degree lows). Hope this helps a little.
