In a perfect world, everybody would follow the rules & do things "the right way". Since's it's NOT a perfect world, just make sure you follow the most recent translation of Xalepa Ta Kala: "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well."

I had a few shirts that didn't even pass the Dad test, knowing my mom would see it. I came home for break and passed out and I think he was getting some of my dirty clothes out of my suitcase to throw in the washer and saw a shirt I got from somewhere. He quietly folded it up and shoved it in a side pocket of my suitcase, didn't even realize it till I was packing up to go home.

All good point though, its a real struggle to fight with guys who want "funny shirts" at the expense of our dignity, I have been guilty of this. I am curious how much of a hand HQ plays when approving items for sale, if at all. I imagine it would be way too hard to approve every single item and I gather they just authorize individual sellers and trust their judgment? I would be surprised if someone from LCA said hey, lets make Mardi Gras beads that have 'Lambda Chi Alpha' on them so brothers can take them to the bar and make asses of themselves. This is true just just about anything, be it teeshirt, hat, or having a key chain.

I would love to wear this around:

Unfortunately it has our letters on it.

By the way you don't happen to have a brochure or website for your printing company do you? I was planning on getting a large quantity of postcards printed up to send to our alumni whenever I get around to making their new website. I am still shopping around for the best price.

Thanks.

That is disgusting. Obviously, it's being sold by a member and was used on a campus recently.

Surely that can be stopped.

That is just one of about 10-20 shirts that get posted every week. I have plenty of shits ive got from bars like these, letters don't belong on these kid of shirts. I know is going to be a topic of conversation at conference this summer from what I understand, which is more of an issue. Sure you can try and get ebay to delist them but the fact remains there are hundreds of these shirts out there, which HQ has a huge problem with from what I have been told.

I'm sure no one has EVER made a Chi Omega shirt that went a little
too far or bordered on a line of indiscretion.

Not that that shirt is bad or shedding any ill light, but the same potential
is there for you as it is for us...

We have as much power to stop this from happening and preventing the
sales as anyone else............none

Of course it has happened -- (They make terrific dust rags.)

Or for Alpha Chi Omega...in this case.

Having offensive shirts boxed up and sent to the National HQ before they are distributed works pretty well.

Have any of you even seen the types of shirts that are popular on today's college campus?

Those T-Shirts are NOTHING compared to http://www.bustedtees.com/ or http://www.tshirthell.com/hell.shtml .

The most proud possession you have is your name.

My issue is with offensive shirts that bear the names of our honorable fraternities.

Excellent point.

While it may seem funny to the wearer, it can make you look like idiots and the lips began talking and then the word gets out.

Being lonely is sad.
