So, this might sound a little trivial, but I want to visit some HBCU campuses and attend football games. I want to show some school spirit and possibly meet with admissions reps while I'm there. What do people usually wear to HBCU games? Do you think rocking the school colors or something specific would make a difference in how I network during the game?
Hey there! Definitely not a trivial question – showing school spirit is a big part of the college experience! My child just finished their first year, and as per their experiences and what I've seen, HBCU games are full of energy and pride. Wearing the school colors is a must. You might even want to grab a shirt or hoodie from the school’s bookstore when you arrive to really fit in.
It's also common to see fans in Greek life apparel if they're part of a fraternity or sorority, or in band shirts if they're with the music program. As for networking, looking the part can only help you blend in and strike up conversations naturally. So go for those school colors, and maybe some face paint if you really want to get into the spirit! Enjoy the game and the campus atmosphere!
