Guys Wearing Letter Shirts?

[TheBalancedMan]

I have a question, at my school all the fraternity brothers (for all the chapters) wear shirts/jerseys with the sewed on greek letters. Now that i am at home and i wear mine, friends from other schools tell me that "only girls wear those at my school, guys dont wear their letters, they wear their social shirts or rush shirts". I have heard this from multiple people and am wondering which is more common?

Your guys who reject wearing lettered shirts or sweatshirts with
your greek letters...are misinformed.
Wear your Sig Ep paraphernalia with pride...any of it!

Guys wear stitch letters at the University of Houston. I don’t think anyone has ever refereed to it as a girly thing to do.

At both schools that I've been at, guys wear stitched letters

Guys did that all the time at my school - we called them "power letters," but they were definitely worn, I have a sweatshirt and t-shirt just like you described, and I used to wear them all the time.

I think your friends are the ones with the problem - stitched letters are a sign of respect, as opposed to the mixer tees.

When would you ever be ashamed of your letters?

[tnx_soulanna]

ummm...yea, never be ashamed of wearing your letters. That's just stupid. Wearing your letters is something very special, not a fashion statement.

There are some schools where letter shirts aren't worn that often... but I'd say that's usually for guys and girls. I say do what you want!

We wore them at Chicago...but it wasn't an everyday thing.

I still wear mine.

I've never heard that it's only a girl thing, but maybe some schools are like that. Are you wearing a tank top or is it a normal male shirt?

awesome thanks guys/girls. i am never ashamed to wear my letters! just wanted to know if it was normal at other schools too.

Guys never wear those here... some of the smaller fraternities do though.

The guys at New Mexico State wear their letter stichted or screen printed.

[SigKapCoug]

Guys wear their "jerseys" (as ive heard them called) here. Not as often as the girls wear them, but they definately do.

The only thing that, I feel, should be considered inappropriate are outside companies advertising within your letters. Like, a gucci or burberry (sic?) pattern inside something that is personally yours exudes trendiness or tackiness. One of those two. wow, it's like one of those rare times I agree with erik p conard . But I'll tell you this... you should wear your letters. Your letters shouldn't wear you.
