Hampton's Dress Code-PLEASE EXPLAIN AND DISMISS RUMORS

Let me clarify, since u choose 2 take offense. Hampton University costs 23,000+ to attend. If you want to rock a wifey and a fitted, stay in high school. Yeah they are a part of our "urban subculture" but your matriculation here at Hampton is supposed to prepare you to fit in with the "real world" and in that world, fitteds and wife beaters are not attire productive with successfyl ventures. When was the last time you saw anyone attend any type of casual business function in a wife **** :?: See, what you fail to realize is that Hampton produces men and women. Hampton men and women to be precise. There are non like us; to my Hamptonians, what do you call one of us after graduation? The women here want men, not thugs and not someone who cannot represent themselves outside of the typical b-boy wannabes. There's a reason that we produce such outstanding students and alumna and that is because of our standards, the preparation that this school provides for you to fit in with the "white world." No matter what subculture you mold yourself to be, if you cant fit in with the majority then you have a problem. As far as rolling with jeans and a white tee, you'll fit right in with the "white t-shirt mafia" if that's what you want or you could dress up in khakis and a poloshirt. However, wifeys and hats arent allowed outside of your dorm, and like I said, it's too dayum cold and whats the point of using a wave cap if you're not going to show your waves, and hats arent permitted in buildings. Personally I say why mold yourself to the rest of "pop culture?" To me that shows a lack of individuality and self worth if you have to feed into the stereotypical BS that is plastered around. With that said, I am out.

lol i understand that but i can understand not wanting to dress "business casual" every day too...soo i just put it out for my manz who luvz the rocawear fitteds and just 2 state how it wuz gonna take some gettin used 2 for me cuz i love my KC fitted it reps where i came from b4 i move 2 va. 2 go 2 Hampton BTW i saw a guy at Hampton wit my KC fitted n blue tall tee look when i came for the open house...hurt my feelingz the only time i EVER saw someone wearin' it besides me lol got off track but ehh...nutha post

like I said, you can dess however you want. Business attire is not sumthin u need every day. I wear jeans and a t-shirt to class somedays, polo shirts and boot cut jeans the next. 8)

Basically future Hamptonian, bring more than a white t-shirt or wife **** to wear at hampton. I hate seeing white t-shirts
