I recall from my days at UGA during the mid-1970’s that 2 social fraternities, KA and SAE, held spring week-long celebrations and formal balls called “Old Home Week.” The guys would wear formal Confederate Army uniforms for some of the events while their dates wore ante-bellum formal dresses. They had a reputation for partying hardy and celebrating the “Lost Cause.” By 1980 the university’s marching band known as the “Dixie Redcoat Marching Band” since the early civil rights days of the 1950s, had dropped the descriptor “Dixie.”
KA and SAE did the same celebration when I was at FSU. I went to the SAE party once. It was loud, drunk and rowdy. But that was pretty much the norm. Nobody was singing the little ditty that we heard on the bus this week. Too busy drinking and raising Cain.
