Sorry if this description is confusing. Perhaps some other folks in organizations with jackets can help clarify!

What you describe is usually true for letter shirts/jerseys.

In my fraternity, what is usually done (this can very from chapter to chapter) is:

Fraternity letters on front.

Left sleeve chapter letters

Right sleeve pledge class designation. Usually as you describe: semester & year. My chapter decided to go with pledge class greek letter name instead.

Back of shirt usually has the person's nickname at the top (similiar to your line name) with their chapter number below. Chapter numbers are assigned by National, and indicated your 'order' in the chapter. One chapter I encountered put weird numbers on the back (like negative numbers).
