-Is it typical to wear the shirt of the vent TO the event or just before it?
-What is ultimatly the point of the shirt (I just like the idea, but if I were to try and explain it to my treasurer what would I say?)
-Who pays for them, meaning do the fraternities and sororities usually split the cost or just one pays? There may not be a set answer for this, but what typically works best?
- How far in advance do you usually order these shirts?

Thanks everyone!!

Uh, I ONLY go to girls functions for the shirts. Not even for the girl.

Here, you don't wear it to the event or anything, the girl brings it to you later on.

A mixer/function shirt for me is sort of like a notch on the belt. At least, that's the meaning for me. It's good advertising if your campus/greek system needs that sort of thing.

Fraternity usually puts in an order for how many shirts they want, then throw the cash the sororities their way. The sororities set up the order usually, as they're the ones who come up with the design for the shirts.

It takes us two weeks or less to get our shirts, but we have a great place near campus that does it for most of the greeks (if not all). They do alot of the designing theirselves.
