Don't have t-shirts. Have pin-on popped collars that you can hand out to all the "lucky" attendees.

Unless they have a frocket!

But seriously, having to ask shows a very poor understanding of the phenomenon.

on the front there going to say Gamma Phi Beta. TSM.
we just need something for the back, one we we're thinking of was...

I refuse to marry a GDI because he will never be able to have enough groomsmen to match my number of bridesmaids. TSM.

other suggestions?

Honestly I find TFM funny, but the real TFM would be your letters on the front and TSM on the back. Because real TSM attitude means all you'd need to say is Gamma Phi Beta.

I wouldn't add any of the quotes. Because for anyone not familiar with the site, you'll just look like snobby bitches. Don't risk someone taking one of those quotes seriously.

Horrible website, with a horrible perspective on the Greek system.
But I get why you'd use is, and I fully agree with Alumiyum. Why the quote when your letters could say it all?

I agree.

This idea is just, well, kinda bad. Mainly because people WILL take it the wrong way and it'll go from being cute to stereotypical and snobby (as was said earlier) really fast.

If you're going to do it, I'd agree with the others with your letters on the front and TSM on the back.

Ditch that slogan, it's not clever or catchy. I agree that IF you are going to do a shirt like this, the best would be to have your letters on front and TSM on back.

However, and I know we hate talking about tiers on here, let's be real for a second. There is no way to make this look good. If you are a top tier chapter, a theme like this will make you look snobby and elitist, which is generally a stereotype that most "top" chapters are already saddled with and usually wish to avoid. If you are a bottom tier chapter, this could backfire and potentially make you look desperate and like you are trying too hard. I can see GDIs seeing the inherent snobbery and going, "Uhh, isn't that the nerdy chapter anyways? Why are they putting us down?"

I think a shirt without a slogan is fine and your best bet, not a bratty slogan and corresponding theme party.
