Aww, thank YOU!

Also, to any non-NPHC people who might be wondering:

There is actually a difference between a line jacket and a coaches jacket. (Coach's?)

A coaches jacket is merely a style of jacket. Anyone can get one.

A line jacket is any jacket that includes your "line" information: linename/nickname, line number, name of line, chapter, crossing season. Sometimes aliases. Line jackets can be coaches jackets, baseball jackets, Charles River style pullovers, or even varsity jackets. I have also seen line sweaters (pullovers and cardigans).

It's the info that makes a line jacket -- otherwise, it's just a sorority/fraternity jacket.

This sounds like a motto for a Greek gear store.

Where I went to school (SFASU), all the NPC sororities wore a coach's jacket (we just called them windbreakers). Granted, I graduated in 1992, but from what I remember, it was one of the first things we got with letters on it (after a shirt and a tote bag). Since we had spring rush back then (it has since moved to fall), these jackets came in quite handy.

Letters were the sewn-on type, placed on the left side, 2 inches tall, going horizontal. They were solid color with another color behind them. Your first name was embroidered in the contrasting color (the backing color of the letters) underneath the letters. Nothing else was on the jacket.

From what I remember, these were the color schemes (everyone in each sorority had the same colors - you could tell who was in what sorority just by the jacket color):

Alpha Chi Omega - green jacket, red letters, white backing
Chi Omega - red jacket, red letters, yellow backing
Delta Delta Delta - royal blue jacket, royal blue letters, yellow backing
Delta Zeta - pink jacket, pink letters, green backing
Gamma Phi Beta - white jacket, white letters, red backing on gamma, yellow backing on phi, blue backing on beta
Zeta Tau Alpha - blueish turquoise jacket, blueish turquoise letters, silver backing
Sigma Kappa - purple jacket, purple letters, silver backing

Gamma Sigma Sigma also had windbreakers - maroon jacket, maroon letters, white backing

Hope that helps!

OK, after this post^^^ I'm confused. Is there a difference between a coaches/coach's jacket and a windbreaker?

In this thread AngelPhiSig talks about our jackets - do they look like this or are they different?

I just want to say that this just helped me in a crucial way. Thanks!
