Lots of trends come and go over time, like certain shoes, patterns, clothing items and even hair styles. Some trends will randomly come back into the light when least expected. Bell-bottom jeans just recently in the last year or two started making a comeback in the sorority world. Sororities sometimes adopt trends outside of the norm to become more noticeable and desirable. Like any clothing items depending on what brand you buy you will always pay more when shopping different brands. Bell-bottoms are just extremely boot cut jeans for anyone who isn't familiar with this look and something that one might not wear on a regular basis or in most settings. Due to the extra denim used in these pants the cost of bell-bottoms is generally a little more than regular pants. I think the hegemonic meaning behind these pants is that when you are wearing these you want more eyes to come on you, so for sorority girls this is probably ideal. I sometimes find clothing trends such as these to be difficult to get behind and sometime unpractical, for example I could get behind the comeback of Birkenstock because they're so comfortable and generally and everyday shoe. But something like bell-bottoms to me just doesn't seem needed for a college girl in the middle of the midwest.
