Yes, we did drink in shirts with our letters printed on them.

Ditto everything here, except that our shirts were more of a favor after the party/mixer. We never wore them to events unless it was a Campus/Greek wide thing such as Derby Days, Homecoming or Parents Weekend. Generally, we wore them the Monday after the event to class, maybe to just show off how much fun we had that weekend? Who knows. I guess it was just campus culture. I suspect that I bought 8-10 shirts in fall semester and another 5 in spring semester. Every year. Generally, most members bought most shirts.
I passed on some of my shirts since there were so many, but did keep quite a few. A few years after graduation a friend offered to make them into a quilt for me. Many years later this is still my favorite blanket. The backing that she used is so warm, and the t-shirt side is so soft and warn-in. It also helps me to remember all the different things that we did as a chapter. Every now-and-then I come home to find my non-greek husband curled up with it.
As for the topic of the thread, on our campus the fraternities and sororites split the costs for events that were officially co-hosted.
