Although I don't approve of the use of the word "tacky" for lettered shirts I do understand that there really is no need to wear those shirts at certain universities. My undergrad was very very anti-greek and our recruitment is small. We have had a low rate of girls deactivating or dropping out of rush but still it is hard to get people interested. You will always see letter shirts at our university cause we need and PR that we can get as far as greek life is concerned.

However, one of my sisters went to university of wisconsin-Madison for grad school and she says that she hardly ever sees lettered shirts around but at the same time she can always tell who's in a sorority. If you dont need the PR to get people into rush you can probably be okay wtih wearing less obvious articles of clothing announcing your organization. However, neither way is "tacky" or shows less pride in your letters. It's just like other things like recruitment, it all depends on your school.

I would like to say t hough I dont approve of not wearing because the professor's are anti-greek...that seems like a crappy excuse and the best way to prove them wrong is to wear your letters and excell in their class.
