Gown library collection. The Order of the Gown has started a “gown library” for members who cannot afford the gowns sold at the bookstore. The OG is also looking for alumni willing to hand down their gowns and pass on one of Sewanee’s best traditions! If you want to put your old gown to good use, please donate it to the gown library. Feel free to include a note with your contact information or share what your gown means to you, so that the student who receives it will be able to thank you directly. The donation drop will be at the Homecoming registration desk all weekend in McGriff Alumni House.
