Our latest rush shirt was yellow with green print (our President is a big John Deere fan), had a skull and crossbones on the front, along with "TAU KAPPA EPSILON", and on the back it had our triple triangle and the quote "In life there are leaders and followers. Take note - you're reading the back of my shirt."
Great color choice, considering nowhere else do we use either of those colors.

Well every campus is different... always keep that in mind.

What is the logic behind having no brothers where your rush shirts in the first place? This is an honest question because I just don't understand.

DeltNick was talking about using it to become "visible" on campus.
Depending completely on your campus culture, visibility isn't really an issue. Shit, no one at my old campus wore jerseys (or whatever those are called when you wear your letters real big on a solid color shirt), people simply knew what you were by how you looked/talk/who you were. Visibility isn't an issue.

No I agree with him at that point. But you were saying you should get girls and other people to wear them instead. I don't understand the logic in that.

Oh sorry...
Because it's weird if brothers are encouraging people to rush a certain house. It seems a little desperate to me. Seems just awkward. We usually give the shirts to girls and guys who already got a bid (it's their first letter shirt).

Lots of hot girls from the top sororities seen wearing a particular fraternity's shirt implies that chapter's success with the ladies, which of course is one of the reasons to join a fraternity (or so I've heard.)

That's what I thought. Though if you get people who want to join just because they can sleep with the hottest girls on campus, do you really want them?

No, we don't. At least, our Chapter doesn't. Wanting to be apart of the "cool kid's clique" is not a reason to join a Fraternity in my eyes.
Part of the reasons we got the shirts was because there were many brothers who didn't own anything with our letters on it. I'm sure that Greek Culture at other campuses is different, but it's not that big at my school. Not to the point where you could look at a guy and instantly be able to tell what group he is associated with. At my school, people will only know about your Fraternity if you tell them or make it obvious.
As for giving the shirts to girls, I don't really like the idea of non-brothers wearing letters. That's just me, though. I'm sure other people have different opinions and I'm not looking to cause an argument.
