'T-shirt Chair' on Resume

[33girl]

Sororities have a position that does nothing but order t-shirts? This whole "trophy for everyone" thing really has gone too far.

If you were PR chair (part of whose duties I'd think would be t-shirts, among other things) that would be fine, but if ALL you did was order t-shirts, skip it. Listing it would cause chuckles if you interviewing at Bath & Body Works, let alone on your law school resume.

Here's what the T-shirt chair does on one of our campuses (nearly 200 members):

* Works with various departments in chapter to determine needs for resale items (recruitment, social, PR, philanthropy, intermurals, etc.) for various events/needs
* Works with outside vendors to design and price items for chapter
* Manages ordering of items for chapter members (including working to hit order minimums, deadlines, and in cases where an item is "required", following up with members who have not placed orders in a timely manner)
* Works with financial VP to bill members for these resale items (sometimes nearly 200 individual billings for a particular order)
* Manages fulfillment of each order (checking in the inventory when received, matching up the bagged shirts by name/size, distributing them, ensuring that shinkage/theft of inventory does not occur)
* Manages inventory of items in the resale closet (all those t-shirts that never get paid for/picked up, overages, etc.) with sales of items to alumnae, new members, parents, etc.

At this particular chapter I've seen at least 12 resale items come through between August and October already... that's 1-2 per week. Definitely not a "fluff" position despite the title of "T-Shirt Chair"!

In a large chapter, it can be a fair amount of work, as JeniDallas posts. However, in my chapter, it was usually held by someone who wanted to prove herself with a small office before going on to something bigger.
