We had a back to school mixer with the wonderful ladies of Phi Mu last fall. We let them design the shirts, which was a big mistake! They came up with some 70's theme of "getting back into the groove," which was fine. But the shirts were yellow and on the back it had all the letters in rainbow colors and had a rainbow colored school bus too. Nonetheless, none of our guys ever wear the shirt, nor do their girls.

I know my chapters worst shirt was for one of our date dashes a few years back. The shirt was for cross dressing and going ice skating. Well it has a guy in a tutu on ice skates spining around.

-The award for the MOST RANDOM shirt goes to the SigEps on my campus...their Fall 2001 Rush shirts: Navy Blue shirt...white SigEp on the front...WHATEVER BRO! in huge bold white on the back. (Rumor has it they were in a meeting discussing the shirt designs and out of frustration one of the older brothers yelled that out and the rest is history!)
-I have to appluad the SAMmies on my campus as well: Fall 2001 Rush Shirt- GREEN shirt (not hunter, not neon) with a scene from Green Eggs & Ham...w/ the caption "i will not eat green eggs & ham because..." and on the back the same scene but the litlle guy held up a sign that said "SAM i am" (undisputed fave)
-They also had shirts made up to give out to the girls: Teal baby t's...with the ADIDAS pyramid/stripes on the chest and ADIDAS right under it in black...and on the back:
All
Day
I
Dream
About
Sammy

-My absolute fave is our traditional Fall Bid Day Shirt: White t-shirt... on the left chest in purple letters: Delta Phi Epsilon Fall Bid Day 20xx with a purple n yellow Cat in the Hat lying on top
On the back:
I will not party in a boat,
I will not party w/ a goat,
I will not party in a house,
I will not party w/ a mouse,
I will not party w/ a fish,
I will not party in a dish,
I will not party here or there,
I will not party anywhere.
I will not party don't you see,
Unless it's w/ a D-Phi-E!!
each verse has a corresponding Dr Suess animation!!
**sorry for the long post** =)

T-shirts aren't really big on my campus, which I think is a big shame. It's pretty much just to save money and such but we try to have one once a semester, homecoming and then formal recruitment in Feb. I don'tthink ANYONE did Bid-Day shirts this past year, sniff sniff.

I saw a really cool shirt a our Convention over othe weekend. It was a teal color and said "Never have I ever..." in bubble letters on the front and had ??? on the back and something about Bid-Day too. I kinda liked it.

SigEp did a black t-shirt last year for patty's day that was the poem "Here's to lyinng cheating, stealing and drinking" or however it goes...I liked that one A LOT.

BTW I saw this on a shirt but can't remember all of it...it was for someone's formal...

SAE had their first annual Cajun Cookout philanthropy this year and made light blue shirts with (I think) a picture of a crawfish. It said, "Suck the tail, eat the head."

ATO had their first annual kickball game philanthropy and made shirts that had a picture of a guy standing between two kickballs. They came announcing to my house and showed the picture of the t-shirt design and everyone laughed and I was like, "What? Ohhhhh."

I think that I've lucked out with my chapter as far as horrible t-shirts...our worst one I'm actually wearing right now...my rush shirt for my pledge class.

Really it's not too bad...just boring. Navy shirt with Beta Theta Pi in greek letters in a light blue on the front left breast...below that in orange is alpha tau (our chapter)spelled out. On the back is a huge lower case b in that same weird light blue underlined in orange...and in white running verticle to the edge of the b it says Recruitment 2001 and underneath everything Beta Theta pi is spelled out.

Our best t-shirt was for an annual party thrown by the years' pledge class for the active chapter. This was for the party thrown by my pledge class. It was black shirt and in white on the front, in the same font used for The Sopranos (along with little pistol "r") it said BILTMORE and below that "Beta. Fiji." in smaller print. On the back centered at the top of the shirt (right in the neck area) it had the logo from "The Godfather" (the hand with the marionette strings) but it had Beta Theta Pi in greek letters in place of 'The Godfather'...really cool shirt that everyone has just loved. (not to mention it was a fabulous party)

The best t-shirt I think I've seen was one used by the Beta chapter at U of Minnesota... front was the BMW logo, but instead of BMW it had Beta Theta Pi in greek letters, and it said "the ultimate fraternity experience" on the back it had the Minnesota license plate and said BETA-RUSH as the 'personalization'
