Recruitment Chair and Rho Gamma Shirts: Apparel for the Rush Crew
Quick Answer- Rho Gammas (disaffiliated recruitment counselors) need apparel that identifies them as neutral guides during rush
- Recruitment chairs need a distinct shirt that signals their organizing role on the chapter side
- No minimum so a panhellenic council of 20 Rho Gammas and a chapter with 4 recruitment chairs both order at the same rate
- Rush week design tends to read clean, professional, and non-aggressive
Recruitment chair and Rho Gamma shirts cover the rush week crew. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints recruitment apparel with no minimum, so a panhellenic council's 20-Rho-Gamma cohort and a chapter's 4-recruitment-chair team both order at the same per-piece rate. US-printed, ships in about a week.
Rho Gamma Shirts: Identifiable, Neutral
Rho Gammas (Pi Chis at some campuses, Recruitment Counselors at others) are sorority members who disaffiliate from their chapter for rush week and serve as neutral guides for potential new members. The shirt has to read as guide, not as member of any specific chapter.
- Panhellenic logo front-chest: Reads council, not chapter.
- "Recruitment Counselor" or "Rho Gamma" back yoke: Identifies the role.
- Neutral color base: Black, navy, or grey. Avoid any specific chapter color.
- No chapter letters: Critical. The Rho Gamma shirt must not signal any specific chapter.
Recruitment Chair Shirts: Identifiable on the Chapter Side
The chapter's recruitment chair runs the chapter's rush week from the chapter side. Their shirt signals "ask me, I am running this." Distinct from the rest of the chapter's rush crew.
- Chapter letters front-chest: Anchored to the chapter.
- "Recruitment Chair" back yoke: Identifies the role.
- Slightly different color or detail from the rest of the rush crew shirt: Stands out at the rush table.

Rush Crew Shirt for the Chapter
Beyond the recruitment chair, the chapter often runs a rush crew shirt for the active members working the recruitment events.
- Chapter letters front-chest, smaller scale than tee.
- "Recruitment 2026" or "Rush Crew" back yoke.
- Cotton pique polo or soft cotton tee.
- Same shirt every member working rush wears.
