I have two favorite shirts: a plain white t-shirt with the vera bradley letters outlined in teal (super cute) and a shirt from Day Away (our pledge retreat) from my Sophomore Year. It has a pirate ship with our letters on it and says "ARRRRRRRRRGH You Ready to Be a Pirate Ship KAPPA-tain?" (It was for our chapter's Kappa Class.) and "Walk The Plank At Day Away 2007" on the back. It was just a funny shirt.

My least favorite was from my Day Away when I was a candidate. It is a very cute burgundy color but has a yellow font and the fit of the shirt is just awful. I've never worn it.

My favorite is my bid day shirt (2005). It is hot pink. On the front is says "Phi Mu Bid Day 2005" It has a Precious Moments lion on the back with a hot pink mane and above it says "It's tough being the best" and below him it says "but around here it's tradition". I got bleach on while cleaning. It's only a few stains, but I can't wear it out anymore and there aren't anymore to be had.

Another fave is a recent pre-recruitment shirt that has letters on the front in white screen print with black outline. The back has a huge quatrefoil and the words "A Proud Past...A Promising Future"

There are a few others I love too.

However, my least favorite shirt was the crush party shirt. I don't even remember what it says, but it's black. On the front is something like "Crush Party 2006" with a pathetic weird red heart with a white "illlumination" desing and the back is some stupid slogan with the same red heart theme enlarged. UGH! It also came in tank top form for girls who preffered it. Blah.

There was also the tacky white psuedo-polo for Philanthropy Night featuring the CMN logo over the heart. The collar was so cheap looking. It was a v-neck with no buttons, just that tacky collar.

Hey lucy thats a nice T-Shirt

My favorite has to be the one I designed for my senior class. It's bright pink, and the left chest has our letters in white with the saying "the last of the best" (something we all said a lot in our chapter) and then "SENIORS 2007" underneath. The back of the t-shirt has a cute heart design with a really nice saying on the back. I can't remember all of it but it goes:

We came expecting,
We left remembering.

We came as many,
We left as one.

We came as strangers,
We left as friends.

We came with nothing,
We left with everything!

Least favorite.. probably some of our St. Patty's Day Date party shirts. Green just isn't a flattering color on me! I didn't like my bid day shirt my sophomore year either. Brown with pink letters and a really dumb slogan.

My favorite shirt was someone's least favorite shirt.

It's a t-shirt with red, yellow, and green scribbles on the front, then over it is printed "Alpha Gam - We be Jammin'!"

It's seriously fugly, but it's one of my favorites because it's one of my tree's pass-down shirts. Our tree baby squirrel wears it for sleepover. It's also one of my favorites because there's only one left (ours) and it's like an XXL. Seriously funny, and we have pictures of my sister-grandmother through great-great-great grandaughter (soon to be great-great-great-great) in it. So really it's my favorite because it's a fun tradition.

What a great topic!

My fav is a bid day tshirt I got my hands on the year after I left. It's pink, and on the front right chest it has our letters and "Bid Day 2004". On the back in green it says "What is it about pink that makes you feel so good?" Not the wittiest or funniest saying, but I still love that tshirt.

I had to post pictures because 1) It's tricky to explain the design as much as I wanted to 2) In my opinion, too cute to not show it!

I love finding an excuse to wear it :p

What a neat heart design that is!

beccaminster- please post a pic of your quilt when you get it finished!

No excuses necessary! It's super cute!

My favorite was a baseball style shirt, it says Deephers on the front. But the D is the Detroit Tigers logo.... my chapter and another chapter are located in the Detroit metro, so we got them :-D Classy if i do say so myself.

My favorite shirt is our Rock-A-Thon shirt from last year. It has a huge rocking chair on the back and amazing fonts. The font is a butterfly and the National Kidney Foundation logo together. It's a gray tshirt so it goes with a lot of things. I wear it a lot, along with most of the other sisters. I'm so excited to see what the next Rock-A-Thon shirt looks like this year! :)

We've definitely had a few terrible tshirts though. We do Chill-n-Grill every year for Homecoming and the theme last year was "Last of the 80s Babies". We had a new social chair who didn't have any experience with tshirts making. The shirts came out super plain. I thought we'd definitely get a good tshirt, just because the theme was so easy, but no. I don't ever wear that shirt.

just a side track, it turns out i know the guy that wrote the article [small world!]

My favorite t-shirt was our Greek Week t-shirts this year. They had our letter sort of graffiti bubble like with the Philadelphia skyline inside of them. The back said "Philly's Phinest" with Greek Week 09 underneath. Awesome shirts :)

My favorite letters are the ones my big got for me - hot pink shirt, tye-dye letters on a white background.

My favorite is probably our Icewater shirt from this year's Recruitment (Icewater is the first round, which is no-frills... all you can serve is Icewater and the shirts can only have your letters on them). Because the parameters for shirts are so strict, you have to get creative! The shirts are kind of turquoise blue with blue & blue letters with printed designs inside them - fleur de lis inside the first K, keys inside the second K and owls inside the Gamma. Reading that again, it sounds kind of funky... but I promise it's cute! I like how it incorporates our colors and symbols but is still inside the parameters for that round.

I also loved our "Notorious KKG" Homecoming shirts for this year! We borrowed the design idea from Gamma Chi chapter at GW (thanks, ladies!!) because we saw pics on facebook and thought the shirts were hilarious. Here's a picture:

In terms of t-shirt disasters... once we had ordered a bunch of cute tees that had "Kiss me, I'm a Kappa!" on the front and when they arrived, they just said "Kiss me, I'm a Kapp!" Ugh. Luckily they were just sisterhood tees, not for an event. It was the company's fault so they replaced them with correct ones, but a few of the old ones are still floating around... I think one family passes them down as a joke :p
