- House-specific design (street address, house nickname, founding house year) distinguishes from generic chapter merch

Greek life chapter house t-shirts are the everyday wear of brothers and sisters who live in the house. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints house-specific apparel with no minimum, so a 30-person live-in roster pays the same per-piece rate as a 150-person chapter order. US-printed, ships in about a week.
House-Specific Design Beyond Generic Chapter Merch
Chapter letter merch reads chapter-wide. House merch reads house-specific. The design picks up details only live-ins know: the house address, the nickname for the house, the year the house was acquired, an inside-joke from the house.
- House street address front-chest: "1217 Maple Avenue" or whatever the house number is.
- House nickname tag: Most houses have a nickname (e.g. "The Castle," "The Compound," "The Hill").
- Founding year of the house: Not the chapter founding year, the year this specific house was acquired.
- House silhouette or facade art: Some chapters print the house facade as the back design.
Apparel That Holds Up to Daily House Wear
- Heavyweight cotton crew tee: Daily wear. Holds up to constant washing.
- Pullover hoodie: Late-night study, weekend wear, walks to class.
- Sweatpants: House-wear standard. Embroidered house logo on hip.
- Crewneck sweatshirt: Lighter than hoodie, often more popular in spring.
