Serious? I'll chalk that up to another difference between Southern Greek Life and everywhere else that I've heard of. Out here at least, fraternities brag about winning Sports Banners even more than who had the largest pledge class.

Everytime Macallan suggest pocket tees I pray that he's kidding.  I think of free tshirts from cigarette companies when I think of pocket tees. Which then makes me picture Macallan and his fratty friends less Southern gentleman and more backwoods rednecks.  I prefer to picture the former than the latter.

I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one. I can't recall ever seeing fraternity tees with pockets. I've only seen sororities order them, and not very often...not for events, anyway.

Maybe it's a northern/southern thing, but every shirt I ever got through a fraternity always had pockets

My experience was the opposite, I never saw a pocket tee on my campus from any greek group, sorority or fraternity. All the fraternity shirts I have gotten over the years tended to be long sleeved t's though. Maybe its a weather thing?

In the south we have pockets on T-shirts (and the T-shirts are almost always white, sometimes blue and rarely green.)
We don't do Greek Weeks and we don't do intramural sports.
I never really wondered why (though I think I know now), but I had fun in school so I don't worry about it.
Still, it has been interesting to read here about how many other schools did have those kinds of things. At Texas, Greeks and the University have as little to do with each other as possible- at least until we graduate, make a lot of money and give donations that get buildings named after us.

A lot of fraternities and sororities compete in IM sports here. It's nice to have a room filled with trophies. People go Greek to better themselves, why not prove that in sports as well. The most fun we have is co ed teams composed of both fraternities and sororities.
The only t-shirts you should wear without a pocket is sorority shirts! Pockets are a must. We just got our OU (biggest weekend for fraternities at Texas, I think) shirts and unfortunately there was a miscommunication, the lady who made them put our letters above the pocket. I don't think anyone will notice outside of Texas, but it still looks goofy. I've also met a lot of northern Beta guys who wear those big shiny block letters which are a nono here.
