I often wonder why people wear Logo items to give free advertising to those companies who over charge for their products.:o

Wow, I am cool, I wear A F or Joe Cool name brands.

On the other hand, you are going to college, and as such you should update all aspects of your wardrobe. My personal opinion is that Hollister clothes should remain like they were intended and should stay with the high school crowd. Abercrombie is a little more tolerable in college as thats what its geared toward really, but as SECdom said, keep the logos conservative.
But no matter what brands you wear, you definitely want to keep it more along the lines of polos and such.


Okay man. Thanks. Yeah i own mostly AF Polos and dress shirts with a few tees, but the tees are all so damn tight that i have to get XL andi dont really like wearing them allot. I like polo and lacost but there so damn expensive and love to shrink on me in the wash for some reason.

i don't dry them unless i want them to shrink, all my dress shirts and polos i hang up and either steam or iron.

Rush is coming up in 3 months.

I'm a Rho Chi this year...way better than doing rush with the house.

Can't wait to see what kind of stars on this one. Over/under on Abercrombie polos in my rush group? 8 people....I'll say 1, though it might be closer to nil.

Yeah... best to keep your affiliation with any internet message board on the DL. I have friends that I've met through Old Row but we don't tell people how we met lol.

Well, given GC's "popularity" (to put sarcastically) among Southern greeks, GC is the last board any rushee needs to name drop. If I heard some rushee mentioning here I'd figure them to be a spy from nationals.

Equally, mentioning FH or OR makes you look like you're trying too hard.

there are only 93751290834589021347 variables that may or may not have an effect on the answer to that question.

2012 06-04-2008 04:15 PM

such as...?

nate2512 06-04-2008 04:20 PM

what school you go to?
how big the school is?
how big greek life is?
prestige of the fraternity? tier of the fraternity?
how important greek life is at that school?

there are more but i wont get into those. don't answer any of the questions. its not for someone you dont know on a board like this to tell if you made the right choice or not.

2012 06-04-2008 04:23 PM

Sec... hence big (it's not vandy)... top 3 in terms of tiers. I just want to make sure it wasn't against any rules.
