When my class graduated last year the chics wore a horrible paper feeling, green (it didn't match our schools green) and the guys had really nice black robes. We had our ceremony at William and Mary. We had about 200+ students and we were the first class to go all 4 years at my school. There was no separation for nhs except for the tassles and stoals. The senoir class officers sat on stage and we were threatened if we showed up in non approved attire ie no robotics pins or medals allowed. So being the model student that I was I showed up with all my buttons and metals under my robe so that when I was in line for my diploma I unzipped my gown to show off all the pins as i left the stage with my diploma. That was great because everyone who knew what I was doing was supportive.
