college kilters
So, I just moved into college yesterday. first time really being away from home. I am at Ball State University. just wondering when you all think I should first show the kilt? first day of classes? tonight at a party? what?
I am also wondering if there are any muncie/ball state kilters on here. I would love to meet with you all. I have heard that there are a few.

Early on, go for it. Maybe not the first day, unless you want to specifically carve your niche as the kilt guy (which isn't a horrible thought).
If you run into a fellow named Holden Hill, avoid him like the plague. If you must speak to him, slap his face and tell him Kyle Cassidy sent you.

First day EVER of classes? I might wear jeans. (I know I'll take flack for this) I say get to know the professors and the ladies you're in class with for at least a day.

I wear mine all the time. That and my pith helmet (and my aloha shirts) have contributed to my unique look such that I am know on sight by any and all students at the University, even though I'm friends with only about 10 - 15 people.
Which makes it easy to disguise myself: so go about in pants and a polo shirt .

Maybe not the first day, but early enough so they don't think it's a Halloween costume

I agree. The only thing I'd like to add to this is, if you're planning on wearing a kilt full time, wear it on the first day. If you only plan on wearing it once in a while, then I would put it on when you are ready.
