All dressed up -- for kite flying?

Time was, girls weren't allowed on campus in shorts. Or pants. So they made do during the '60s with long coats to camouflage their Bermuda shorts.

Note the man in the suit. This was afternoon Kite Flight for Kappa Alpha Theta, and these folks are looking mighty dude-ed up.

Pledges crafted and decorated the kites and let them fly toward the boy's dorms, which got the “actives” off the porch to play. When one pledge commented it had been a fun afternoon, an “active” responded, “Well, just wait until initiation, that's really a blast.”
