Well, substitute the word "attire" with "costume," and you're correct. Compound that with the fact that fraternities hardly ever HAVE toga parties -- and if they do, it's an homage to the movie Animal House instead of Greek culture -- and you see the dilemma.
Leave kilts as an unalterable cultural artifact, and they will die. People will know what they are, but they'll hardly ever wear them.
The Utilikilt is necessary, as are other modern variations. They make kilt-wearing practical and open. Anyone in the world can wear them, whenever they please. If they keep kilt-wearing vital, they will make the Scottish national dress a living thing.
