Bar Crawl T-shirt sayings!
 

Hey guys, we're looking for a good saying for a sophomore pledge class bar crawl. Any creative ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!!

How about something like a definition:
"KAT=
fearless filine, has nine lives, and after this night will need all of 'em..."

Thereis always: "Take me drunk, I'm home", Or "If lost, return this hot mama to ..."

Or have a check off system... for each shot they do:

car bomb------------------(check here)
lemon drop---------------check here)
cranberry drop (vodka and splash of cran)------check here)
-
-
You get the idea-- but be kind, and do not make them drink the bathtub liquor. lemon drops are best with citrus vodkas, like Danzka or something.
The cool thing about the check box is that people have to write on the shirts! interaction is more fun! :D :eek:

Is your house allowed to drink with letters on?

How can a sophomore class go on a bar crawl??????

Most sophomores are 19 or 20.

It's one thing to drink with your letters on, it's a whole 'nother ballgame to drink UNDERAGE with your letters on....

Danielle, I think they can go into the bars there and not drink (unlike our backward state). That is what you're planning aren't you?? ;)

I think a lot depends on what part of the country you're from.

I would've said a Phi Mu NEVER drinks with her letters on, but I was telling a sister from PA how I lost my lavilere (took it off when I went in a bar, and it fell out of my coat pocket at a boy's house) and she just burst out laughing... apparently it's not such a big deal up north!

I would strongly recommend against a 'pledge class bar crawl.' Theta policy (iirc) says that you should separate any social event involving alcohol from your affiliation with Theta.

Basically, if somone would assume what you're doing is a Theta event (and how couldn't they, if you have tshirts!) and the point of the thing is just drinking/getting drunk, it's a really bad idea. I'd go check out your risk management manual and talk to your advisers.

Sorry if that was a bummer, but sisters gotta keep sisters safe!

we got in trouble from IHQ for having a T-shirt that said "Absolut Alpha Gam" in the shape of a Vodka bottle. When I was a collegian I thought it was a real bummer, but now that I'm older and a bit wiser, I realize separating alcohol and sorority was a GOOD thing :)

*not meaning to rain on your parade

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses. No, we are absolutely never allowed to drink in our letters. We don't plan on the t-shirts saying anything about Theta. Our bars are 19 to get in, and once you're in....there's nothing stopping you from drinking. It's the norm for every pledge class to have a bar crawl every year. We all look out for each other and try to keep things relatively under control. I really appreciate the suggestions! We were thinking of something along the lines of a little catty saying, but it will definitely be taken as a joke. With that in mind....have any good lines? Thanks!:D

Oh, it's a big thing in the North, too!

I'm in 100% agreement with Meremere about the 20/20 hindsight.

I was wondering the same thing...

All right, well, now that we've established that any connection between sorority and drinking is bad......


How about.....

"You may not like us, but your boyfriend does."

ours were real cute.. this was our senior graduation crawl...

they were pink with black writing...

on the front was Angels with the 's' making a swoosh type thing and written on it was varsity drinking team

on the back was 03 for our grad year..

...also i know this is a little old.. but one thing we have always done is have girls not graduating who are still in town and over 21 (so that they can get into all the bars with you.. some bars let unders in and some dont).. they are there to make sure everyone is ok and stays together... they dont drink of course..

LOL cuz you never drank or drank at bars for that matter before you turned 21? Seriously... the only legit concern here is drinking wiht letters on... we aren't allowed to do that!

Several of the other Gamma Phi chapters in the state that make bar crawl shirts avoid the letters issue by putting something on it that makes it obvious to other Gamma Phis who they are, but not to the general public - once a girl came into my store wearing a "Founded Upon a BAR" shirt that had a crescent moon on it, then on the back had some sort of funny saying and a logo with their school mascot pounding back a beer on the back. Nobody else knew she was a Gamma Phi, but I caught on.

"Hope I didn't brain my damage!" :D

Yeah I have seen that shirt on the "Design" part in the Greek website I think it was Greek101.com or whatever. I did a double take, I KNEW that would not be acceptable here at CSUS. I applaud that they are tryiing to make our university a dry university and rush has to be DRY!! If the pledges happen to go to another greek party (party NOT rush) then it is okay since it is not during rush. Also there is I think only TWO houses so no one can really sneak underage drinking cuz there is security and cops at the club/rental place, restaurant, etc

for a senior pub crawl, thetas on our campus had this saying on their shirt " who says you can't drink like a freshman when you are 21" ... and on the back, it had "sponsered by" and all the bars in our college town

this year our shirts read "party like its 1985" because thats when we started.

oh what a great influence......

dude, the thread is from 2003 and its not like no one has ever heard/saw that slogan before. lighten up a bit

forget i even said anything........... I was making an opinion just like everyone else does on here.

hmm.. a good senior one is 4 years wasted with a beer mug...

them theta girls drink all the beers at the bar.. front
and they're like, but there's still more bars... back
(kinda lame, i know.):rolleyes:


(even though its an old thread)

what's a "bar crawl?"

A bar crawl is going from one bar to the next....you just try to hit all the bars in the area

Whoops, our senior year shirt said "Sigma Kappa Alumna" on the front and the list of places and times we would be there on the back. At the time I thought it was great because I had to leave after the second bar to go to a required meeting. After it was over, I turned around and asked someone to tell me where I should be heading to meet up with my sisters. ::scratches head:: Hmm, I didn't even think to question it.

Some of the other crawls I did for other organizations were a little more subtle. My favorite shirt had on the back: a big yellow diamond street sign that would normally show someone walking/crosswalk sign. Ours showed a person crawling instead. In letters underneath, Bar Crawl 19xx. The front had a mini version with Bar Crawl written on the sign.

Bar Crawl
 

Back in the day (way back in the day) we called it a walk for development.

Started at the fartherest (sp) bar on 6th ave, had a drink there and kept on going. Stopped at every bar for one drink.

And no, not 6th ave NY-Tacoma,WA

"We like our women like we like our whiskey, aged 12 years and half full of coke."

Ok so maybe thats not appropriate.

A 12 year old whiskey with any kind of a mixer is a waste of both.....Barkeep.....set up the single malts and the single barrels.........will be sipping on the back porch for awhile........darn rain........\_/ \_/ \_/

agreed, aged whiskey should be enjoyed on the rocks, the only coke that should be present should be the gator tails on the mirror next to you.

Gin & Tonic is way better than whisky. whisky is just gross. and wtf are gator tails?

Our chapter had a "Jackass" themed shirt

On the front it had the skull & cross bone thing and it had the chapter's nickname...

On the back it said "Warning:" And then something about how this was done by professionals and should not be done at home...

Accordingly, the shirt was black with red and white writing.

I'm from Australia, where sororities and fraternities don't exist, so it sounds weird to me that you can't wear letters in pubs. We have pub crawls run through the university for certain areas, like engineering and any other reason people can come up with. Our drinking age is 18, so most people at Uni can go drinking. My university has a bar on campus, do they have that in the US?
Anyway... to the point... I'm trying to organise a non-university pub crawl for some friends and I want to think of a name for the pub crawl or something to go on the tshirts. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.;)

Are you providing safe transporation from place to place? (i.e. buses). If so, you should probably make sure that any barfing on the bus will result in a $150.00 fine, payable IMMEDIATELY in cash.

This is a pretty good resource to see how it's done properly and safely:
http://www.bustloose.com/

Their pub crawl names include: SUMMER SLAM CLUB CRAWL and BACK TO SCHOOL BENDER CLUB CRAWL and they have Halloween ones, Stampede ones and Canada Day ones.

A bus probably isn't necessary since most of the clubs in the city of Adelaide are within walking distance from one another and there's always groups of them wandering around, so it doesn't bother anyone. There are some pretty good themes on that site, thank you. We're just throwing ideas around, if you've got anymore that'd be great. :)

I work with Greeks every day, and one of the most common concerns I hear (from Greeks) is that the university and community have no respect for them and only see them as a bunch of drunks.

I don't know if any of you share these concerns, but making pub crawl shirts, or any other shirts that promote alcohol or degrade women, only perpetuates the stereotypes that so many Greeks are fighting against. I'm not saying drinking is bad, because I don't think it is (when done legally and safely), but you can't expect people to think you aren't just a bunch of drunks when you wear shirts that advertise that a bunch of you are going to get drunk. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Not making any judgements here. Just something to think about...

so this is really old...but last year's 21+ club made shirts that said 'bar crawl 2007' on the front and on the back it said 'why walk when you can crawl?'

clever reference to who we were but nobody outside the chapter got it...i found it hilarious :D
