I really want to get the 'coaches' style jacket. But, on campus the only organizations you see wearing those are the divine nine organizations. They are called crossing jackets within their groups. These are very significant within their history.

Do you think it would be disrespectful to get one with my letters on them. I want to get our letters going downward on the front- left side. My name on the right side. I would like to get a large crest on the back. But again, this style jacket has a very significant role in history for these organizations. I'm asking for a little advise here. I dont want to disrespect anyone, just for me to feel a little trendy

If you want to "feel a little trendy", why not buy a new pair of shoes?

I meant it in the sense that some GLOs don't allow (or frown on) using the crest in certain ways.

Also, to any non-NPHC people who might be wondering:

There is actually a difference between a line jacket and a coaches jacket. (Coach's?)

A coaches jacket is merely a style of jacket. Anyone can get one.

A line jacket is any jacket that includes your "line" information: linename/nickname, line number, name of line, chapter, crossing season. Sometimes aliases. Line jackets can be coaches jackets, baseball jackets, Charles River style pullovers, or even varsity jackets. I have also seen line sweaters (pullovers and cardigans).

It's the info that makes a line jacket -- otherwise, it's just a sorority/fraternity jacket.

if there's a GC dictionary thread, this post belongs there. that is all.
