Unique Rush Slogans
 
I was wondering if anyone had any unique Rush Slogans they would like to share? I am working on a Rush T shirt and trying to think of something unique. Any suggestions?

:cool:

"Be good at Life, Join XYZ"

One of my favorite insults is to tell someone they suck at life, so this rush shirt works nicely.

"for every puppet there is a puppy master"

we had our letters at the top and at the end of each string was a sororoity name


PHI SIGMA KAPPA-damn proud

Could these types of shirts be unique because they aren't favorable to women and I would not want my b/f to wear one??

I assume that fraternities don't have to get slogans approved?

:o

I completely agree! I would never want my boyfriend to wear something tasteless as that.

Even if I was single, I wouldn't go NEAR a guy who wore a shirt like that :eek: but I guess that's just me.

Haha that is my absolute favorite insult too! I know it's kind of harsh, but ehh, it's all in fun. :)

The_Nash 06-23-2003 01:01 AM

and yes
 
And yes, my "brotherhood tighter than your girlfriend before we met her" was a joke

"Join us now, or work for us later" is one idea I've heard, though never seen yet.

Another one I have seen on a rush shirt:
"There are leaders, and there are followers. Please note: You're reading the BACK of my shirt!"

KappaKittyCat 06-23-2003 12:52 PM

FKT's slogans last year at my school:

"Once in a while a man comes along who's not afraid to be a GENTLEMAN."

We had the second one on our Greek Week shirts. I thought it sucked, but it might've just been the design of the shirt.

I have to say that shirt slogans like this go a long way towards INCREASING anti-Greek hostility instead of diminishing it.

Many Delta Sigma Pi chapters I know of use that slogan :) (since it's a business fraternity afterall :) )

Rio_Kohitsuji 06-23-2003 02:01 PM

TKE, Rushing Men and Pleasing Women Since 1899.
(I end up wearing this shirt a lot for some reason..)

A local sorority once had, "When we're good we're great, when we're bad we're better" or something like that, lol

tunatartare 06-23-2003 04:37 PM

My personal favorite is "When your letters are in front of you, your sisters are behind you"

Did you go to Burke? I got it from a Burke guy in my house...

tunatartare 06-23-2003 04:49 PM

For Greek Week our school used "No matter the letter, Greeks do it better"

Sr Sleazy 06-23-2003 05:48 PM

Mind/Matter
 
Our chapter had a rush shirt a while ago that said...

front... Mind over Matter
back... if you don't rush, we don't mind, cause you don't matter

GeekyPenguin 06-23-2003 05:54 PM

Worst rush shirt I ever saw was at UW-Whitewater for summer school last year:

"QVC, we're tighter than your little sister"

It had a picture of a girl who looked eleven holding a teddy bear in a little nightie. I love this GLO nationally, but will never ever respect that chapter. The guy wore it almost every week.

sugar and spice 06-23-2003 06:01 PM

Or how about these gems? :rolleyes:

from this thread:

Honestly, I don't know why guys think that these shirts make them look good. They're just offending the women that they're theoretically hoping to hook up with.

I'm not surprised that the Greek system at some schools has the reputation that it does.

Johnnybsigtau 06-23-2003 09:37 PM

thanks
 
Thanks for all the help, I LMAO on a couple of those slogans.

AOcutiePi4ever 06-24-2003 01:27 AM

some of those fraternity shirt slogans are so distasteful i would lose all respect for that chapter and whoever was wearing it. thats the one difference about sororities and fraternities. all of our shirts have to be approved and ALL are done in good taste so as to offened no one, and to always portray our sisters and GLOs in general in a positive light. fraternities really need to get their act together and start doing this as well. they should have laws that says a chapter must approves shirts etc as well, because obiviously they arn't mature enough to select suitable slogans on their own.

This is a major difference between sororities and fraternities...this whole approval stuff. I can only speak for Beta Chapters, but one of the things that our chapters and our General Fraternity strive for is self governance. That's one of the goals of our Men of Principle initiative. Now granted some chapters are immature, but to make more rules and regulations isn't going to change that, and if you have to get everything approved anyway, it doesn't really develop any leadership/creativity b/c some advisor is going to have to give the go ahead anyway...why not just let the advisory team make up the shirt slogans thus saving everyone time and effort?

KappaKittyCat 06-24-2003 01:17 PM

The Delts on our campus (who have been on probation for most of my tenure at Lawrence) had rush shirts this year that said DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION.

PsiU_EN 06-24-2003 01:37 PM

My chapter had a a guy spanking a monkey and it said Rush Psi U what else you gonna do?

Another time we had the State your face grateful dead cover and those bears and it said State Your face Rush Psi U with our letters in that skull (its a bad discription, but i dont really know that much about the grateful dead)

Whaaaaat? :eek: :eek: Ewwww...I almost never get offended by raunchy stuff (heck, I'm the one who says it!), but there's a line, and that definitely crossed it!

phigamucsb 06-24-2003 02:54 PM

Lambda Chi Alpha had a pretty good one a few years ago:
Front of shirt had their letters
Back of shirt: the best friends money can buy

This ones funny
Sigma Chi: they had their letters on the back of their shirts that looked like Fed EX. Underneath the letters it said, "Sigma Chi stuffing box since ___."

Some pretty lame ones i've seen

ATO-conceited slogans mean nothing unless you have the letters to back them up
ATO-dominate everything

Pike-I wanna be like Pike

Exactly - I thought he was an okay guy until I saw him in that shirt.

The worst one we had on my campus was:

(front) There are two types of girls...
(back) KAS girls and those who wish they were.

They took a lot of heat from that shirt from fraternities and independents. Most of the sororities just blew it off. ZBX, the other local, had a great one a few years ago - it had their letters in green (their color) on the front, and on the back showed a green M&M but it has ZBX on it, and said "There's something about the green ones!"

SigEp_Stud 06-24-2003 03:24 PM

You have to understand that some slogans might be offensive to some girls, but they're rush slogans, and a cocky slogan attracts prospective rushees attention and just makes us laugh.

Yeah, but do you really want all the sororities thinking you're jackasses? I don't mind some of the shirts, but the little sister one put me way over the edge.

I think BDA (Big Dick Attitude) shirts are generally more accepted on bigger campuses. I'm from a relatively small school (11 fraternities, 5 sororities) where all the Greeks know each other well, so it's more offensive there.

Yeah, you might use them to attract prospective rushees but are you really attracting the right kind of guys?

GMUBunny 06-24-2003 06:49 PM

I believe it is SigEp here that has shirts that say "If you can't beat us on campus- beat us off". My favorite was tasteful and simple: FSK's "DAMN PROUD" on the back of a blue shirt.

AEPhi had that rush shirt here this year, I think. :)

Yeah, but it'll definitely annoy quite a few girls and probably even, in a few cases, lower their opinion of your house. And considering the Delta Omega Chi case at UCSC, if enough people find it offensive, there's probably even a possibility that you could get fined/put on probation for sexual harassment. Why chance it?

SigEp_Stud 06-25-2003 03:19 AM

When I wear a shirt like that I might be a little skeptical about turning some girls off, but for the most part, the ones that know me will just grin at me and make some funny remark at it.

Cocky slogans might not be a win/win situation but I do believe they add a fun factor to the rushees and among fraternities to have the best shirts.

Strange enough, the guy I got it from, his little brother (one of my pledge brothers) went to Skutt...their last name is Purdy, maybe you know who I'm talking about...
