I have most often seen these shirts at regional conferences and Boule. At one Boule, I picked up two shirts: "my daughter is a Zeta" and "my mother is a Zeta." I wore the latter shirt and my mother and Grandmother the former. We all wore them the same day. It was cute because my mom IS a Zeta (Granny's an Amicae).
Just my own opinion, I do not find it appropriate that anyone outside of the oganization wear a shirt with the Greek letters ZFB --it can put the wearer of the shirt in an uncomfortable position if someone only notices the Greek letters and thinks they're actually a Zeta. I think it's much better to have the shirt say "my xyz is a member/sister of Zeta (or of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority)." I know some folks don't like these type of shirts at all, but I don't have a probably with them per se, as long as there is no Shield, Badge or Greek letter designation on them.

True dat! 10 years ago, I went to the Greek Picnic and arrived in time to see some members of XYZ ripping the shirts off the teenage daughters of an initiated member. Apparently this person got the okay from the president of her grad chapter to create these shirts for them. The problem was that they said "Daughter of a XYZ" instead of spelling out the Greek words. After this woman got her sorors off her kids and she tried to explain that she had gotten approval to do this, one of them said, "You need to take your [shiznit] off too!"
