On my campus every chapter has an official jersey in their colors. Then most orgs. have "families" with their own specidific jersey colors and then you can make t-shirts however you'd like or with various patterns or random favorite colors. But a lot of people do their favorite fraternity and do shirts: Ex: a "Sammy Girl" would get a Sammy colored jersey or shirt or whatever. Ex: My "big brother" is a TKE (so is my BF and Big Sister is the Sweetheart of '06 and her BF is a TKE, etc. etc.) so I have a TKE colored jersey with my letters.
However, it would be in poor taste for me to have a DPHIE (purple, gold)colored jersey as I'm not a DPHIE or an AOII (red & white) jersey, or whatever (now I can have a red jersey [for example my TKE colored jersey is red w/ silver letters and a white background], but I wouldn't go out and get a red jersey with white letters and black background because that is the AOII jersey here).
It's confusing from the back and yes people would take offense for another girl to be wearing my jersey/jersey colors that's not a member. It does kind of grind my gears that a lot of people (I will not name names) have a tendency to use Pink and White (not at my school necessarily, but elsewhere). Pink is the only color Phi Mu has technically, and for someone else to use it excessively can become a problem for PNMs (who are easily confused).
(Plus as Kevin from BSB once said "Find your own identity!")
On my campus, we're "the pink ones" to most of them and if some other group busted out with pink jerseys, non-Greeks would not get it. And just out of respect to the colors we have, why would someone else go and make that their "official" colors when it's not theirs or what their founders or decision makers put in their ritual?
