Fraternity Rush shirts for girls
 

Does anyone have any ideas for a t-shirt to give to girls in sororities to promote for fraternity rush?

When I was in grad school, the Kappa Sigmas on my campus wore loud shirts that simply said, "ASK HER."

They gave their female friends shirts that said, "ASK ME."

It created quite a buzz on campus during rush week, and when the girls were stopped and asked what the shirts were about, they gave reasons why guys should rush Kappa Sigma.

Yeah, they had a very successful rush.

They discourage the cross-promoting at my school. Women would listen to the fraternity guys more than they would the sorority women or their own instincts. And the sororities at that time were wearing buttons and things for the fraternities, too.

Maybe at a big school it's not as much a big deal, but on smaller campuses, it creates way too much gossip and too many labels. Besides, once one chapter does it, the others all get in on the action, too...why create competition and hostility like that if it's not necessary?

This is off topic, but I found that the opinions of sorority girls on fraternities and vice versa were pretty much spot on. Factoring in members with grudges of course. :)

WOW. That is good marketing!

As for my best friend's fraternity, they just gave a bunch of girls shirts that said "I LOVE Phi Psi" and told us to wear it at the beginning of the semester.

At my school, the girls were given the same shirts as the members of the fraternity. Many of us were invited to be fraternity rush hostesses, too. The men really involve the ladies in their rush-- they invite us to their houses during the rush events, some even give out roses to the ladies when they visit, there are ladies signing people in, etc.

I am so thinking Mandy Pepperidge and Babs Jansen, the Omega's name-tag hostesses from Animal House, right now.

And I am not knocking it at all. We had name-tag hostesses too.

A quick way to make your point and something you can use in the future is just to give a bunch of sorority girls who are your friends t-shirts that say I heart (fraternity name), like the I heart NY shirts. It gets your name out there, and is pretty noticeable.

Hey, this can go both ways.

I have seen:
"If I was a Guy (front), I'd Rush Theta Chi (back)"

Also:
"A Delta Zeta(Letters), Thinks I'm Hot(smaller font)"
- had hot guys wear them the term before recruitment.

Here may be one:
"Be my Crush(front), Go Rush!(back)"

Sig Chi on my campus had shirts that they gave to the girls that said: SSCY

This is pretty popular on my campus. Most fraternities create t-shirts for their female friends to wear to class since our frat rush is usually the second week of school.
I've seen all variations of the "I (heart)" but one of the cutest shirts I've ever seen was produced by one of the smaller fraternities on campus. Tau Kappa Epsilon created pale blue baby t's with the wording "Urban is my homebody" and Urban Meyer's likeness on the front holding a sign saying "TKE". These were made the first year Urban Meyer came to UF and with all the hyper surrounding our new coach, caused people to look twice. They didn't scream Rush TKE or anything but they were cute and fun and I snagged one from a brother I'd gone to high school with. Any association you could make to what's causing a buzz on campus seems like a good idea.
One suggestion I'd have for you is to make well-fitting shirts girls are likely to wear, especially something they can make look cute. One of my favorite fraternities caught on to this and buys the Hollister type sheer t-s or tank tops for the girls.
All in all, I think its a good marketing tool. It may demonstrate the more shallow side of GLO's but rush is just a cutthroat event.

the one in the middle with the heart, and the one at the end with the "E". the others would get kicked out for eating crackers.

This is pretty popular at my school. Several fraternities drop off fraternity rush t-shirts at select sorority houses (the same as the ones the guys get, just in smaller sizes) and girls usually wear them to week of fraternity rush. The other way to get them is to ask a guy friend to snag one for you. Usually only the "pretty" houses get them.

Sororities are also invited by the fraternities to hang out at the house during rush. Basically the girls stand outside on the porches so they're the first thing the rushees see, and they get the impression "Wow, these guys hang out with hot girls all the time!" In addition to banners on their houses, the guys advertise rush in the school paper with things like "Join us from 6-8 with the beautiful ladies of ABC".
