At my school, a jersey is a a THICK HEAVY (often sweat producing in the miami heat) cotton shirt.

Your official chapter jersey (which is usually bought by a big brother or big sister and everyone owns one) usually goes something like this (depending on your chapter): Nickname (or not) "scroll"/initiation number (or not) chapter designation goes on the left shoulder (or not) and pledge class on the right (or not). These factors very greatly by chapter, especially with sororities. But many allow you to put whatever you want on your "family" or other random jerseys. And I mean almost anything. My most expensive jersey is a red and grey Tau Kappa Epsilon styled jersey bought for me by my "Big brother" who is a TKE it was at least 80$ because he put a very long (and they charge by the letter!) nickname for me on the back. My official chapter jersey was ordered by the big sisters in bulk from online and cost about $20 or so each. But our local greek store/sport store is called D & N and is very expensive, so when you want one locally made it get's pricey (hence the 80$ jersey). The prices of the letters vary depending on the size of the letter. (Ex. the two/three big letters on the front cost more per letter than the smaller ones on the back/sleeves would) You CAN get symbols, and I've heard of campuses with them on jerseys, but we are just not symbol people down here and we go with the basics. I've only seen one or two symboled jerseys and even a few on t-shirts. Iron on shirts are much cheaper, but they can get ruined if the wearer doesn't turn it inside out and iron it once in a while. You can also just buy the stitched letters (which will also iron on, but poorly) or the actual plastic/vinyl style iron on letters). If you don't know what I'm talking about, I guess you don't have it at your school...options rule!
