Not at all. My first jersey was "loaned" to me by my Big Sister. Then, we all purchased the kind we liked from the local sporting goods store. I liked the white one best, so that's what I bought. My Big Sister had the more traditional red with yellow letters.
I remember when I was a Junior, one of the Seniors bought a jersey that was medium blue with gold letters -- we all looked at her like she was crazy! LOL Most of us believed in cardinal & straw all the way!
I will also mention that we didn't get many t-shirts in those days either. As pledges we received a t-shirt on Bid Day and then we'd buy one for Spring Weekend. The only other Chi O t-shirt I owned was from the National Convention in 1982. (Don't feel too sorry for me -- now I have quite a collection!)
