I live in Nashville, Home of Vanderbilt University, I do know that the university has a tie (Both Bow and Windsor) with each school of Vanderbilt, Medical, Law, Religious, etc. Having a different version of the school tie, example the medical school has a caduceus woven in one of the stripes. Most of the fraternities at the university also have ties. The other universities in Nashville seem also to have ties.
It’s just that no one seems to wear ties much anymore.

You'd be surprised; they're worn more often than you think.
