I've seen pictures of Greeks from the 1920's to the present with stitched letters. I don't think they had a way of wearing letters (as opposed to pins) prior to the Sixties, did they? I can't imagine a sorority girl wearing pin attire for, say, Derby Days!

If I had to guess, stitched-letter jerseys are kin athletic jerseys and to lettermen's coats/sweaters/jerseys. I'd also guess that they first arose for things like intramural competitions, Greek week, etc. I can remember some jerseys from years ago that had the stitched letters on the front and the person's name (or nickname) in heat-adhesive letters on the back top, like a sports jersey.

I don't see anything wrong with that as long as it's not the official house letters. Our chapter has girls wearing funky/cute designs on their letters. And yes, one girl has zebra print letters. They're unique.

The thing that's wrong with this is Johnny Cash is a guy. LOL. The only man on earth who can wear zebra print anything is Prince.
