Ditto at Kentucky. I would also add that event shirts at UK were not done “way back”.
At UK, there was a sorority that actually had a jersey for their various event coaches. The sorority letters were stitched on the front, while on the back "Coach" was stitched. The jersey was in the colors of the sorority. So when the event was Sigma Chi Derby Day, a Sigma Chi wore one. When the Kappa Sigma Road Race was held, a Kappa Sigma wore one. For the Lambda Chi Alpha Watermelon Bust, a Lambda Chi Alpha wore one. And so on. No one – that I know of – got all discombobulated over it.
From pictures taken around the same time of other Sigma Chi chapters' Derby Day events, this seems to be rather common. In that a Sigma Chi Derby Day Coach wore the sorority’s letters. Either letters stitched on a jersey or screen letters on a tee.
It seems that in general, the campus culture has changed because shirts like these below seem to be more of the norm now. And not just for Sigma Chi and not just at UK. But on other campuses and for other Greek related events as well.
