Or my favorite.

Front: Lambda Chi Alpha Brotherhood

Back: 'tighter than your little sister'

But these are just a few of my favorites, probably not smiled upon by authoritave figures though.

Trey,

I agree that these are "cute," but it's time they became a part of our history. In one of the sessions at Leadership Seminar in '07, Brother Ray Lutzky showed us a slide of the LXA Mechanics shirt. Most of us laughed our heads off. Then he asked us, what happens when one of our brothers is accused of a crime against a woman and the prosecutor shows the jury that shirt?

You know it's a joke. I know it's a joke. The jury may or may not see the humor. The way society has gotten, many people are too uptight to take a joke as a joke. And the way Hollywood portrays greeks doesn't help. A group of "adults" could easily see that shirt and come away with the idea that treating women badly is something Lambda Chi's do as a matter of course.

I think a good guideline for T-shirt designs is, "Would I be embarrassed if my Grandma saw this shirt?" If she would be, don't do it.
