Plus Size Sorority Apparel: Chapter Shirts in Extended Sizes

Plus size sorority apparel is the same chapter design printed on garments that fit the full sister roster. Most Bear Grips catalog products extend to 3XL, 4XL, or 5XL depending on the blank. The chapter does not have to commission a separate plus-size order or pay extended-size upcharges to get every sister into the same chapter design.

Extended Size Availability Across the Bear Grips Catalog

Standard chapter pieces and their available size ranges:

• Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee (Bear Grips), $19.88 VIP base. Sizes XS through 3XL.
• Women's Favorite Tee (Bella+Canvas), $19.88 VIP base. Sizes XS through 3XL.
• Premium Cotton Crew Tee (Next Level), $23.88 VIP base. Sizes XS through 3XL.
• Comfort Soft Hoodie (Bear Grips), $36.88 VIP base. Sizes XS through 3XL.
• Unisex Champion Crewneck Sweatshirt, $41.88 VIP base. Sizes XS through 3XL.
• Women's Premium Cropped Sweatshirt (Bella+Canvas), $44.88 VIP base. Sizes XS through 2XL.
• Premium Tall Tee (Hanes), $25.88 VIP base. Tall sizes M through 4XL Tall.

For chapters with sisters needing 4XL or 5XL specifically, the Premium Tall Tee covers that range. Some products in the broader Bear Grips catalog extend further into specialty sizing. The chapter shop can carry the standard cropped silhouette and the extended-size tee side by side as separate products linked to the same chapter design.

Building an Inclusive Chapter Apparel Program

An inclusive chapter apparel program puts the same chapter design on multiple silhouettes so every sister has a comfortable fit option:

• Standard female-cut tee. Women's Favorite Tee or Ladies' Moisture Wicking Tee. Fitted silhouette for sisters who prefer it.
• Unisex cotton tee. Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee or Premium Cotton Crew Tee. Looser cut, available in broader size ranges.
• Cropped option. Oversized Boxy Crop Tee. Modern fashion silhouette.
• Tall option. Premium Tall Tee. Tall sisters get a proportioned fit.

Each sister picks the silhouette that fits. The chapter design is the same across all four. The chapter does not have to push a single silhouette on every sister, which historically has been a friction point in chapter apparel programs.

No Extended Size Upcharge for Chapter Apparel

Standard chapter apparel pricing at Bear Grips is flat across the available size range. A size XS tee and a size 3XL tee in the same product use the same VIP base price. The chapter retail price is also typically set flat across sizes so members pay the same amount regardless of size.

This avoids the historic problem of plus-size members paying extra for the same chapter shirt as their smaller sisters. Inclusive chapter apparel programs treat all sisters as equal members of the chapter, and pricing reflects that.

How to Order Inclusive Chapter Apparel at Bear Grips

Setting up an inclusive chapter apparel program:

1. Open a Bear Grips shop at shops.beargrips.com/for/greek-life.
2. Upload the chapter design.
3. Add the design to multiple product silhouettes (fitted female-cut, unisex cotton, cropped, tall) so each sister can pick her preferred fit.
4. Set the retail price uniformly across all silhouettes.
5. Share the shop link. Each sister orders her preferred silhouette and size.

The chapter does not need to coordinate sizing, predict size distribution, or commission a separate extended-size order. The shop handles every order individually.
