Student organization leadership apparel is the piece that distinguishes the officer from the general member. The right combination is an embroidered polo or quarter-zip with the org crest on the left chest and the officer title on the right sleeve. Each new officer orders their own piece in their own size after election. No advisor handles bulk orders or sizing spreadsheets. Below are the pieces that work, the embroidery layout, and the budget math for a five to ten person exec board.
The Officer Polo: Default Leadership Piece
The Men's Premium Cotton Pique Polo and Women's Premium Cotton Pique Polo (Gildan, Free base $41.95, VIP $34.88) are the default leadership pieces. Embroider the org crest on the left chest, the officer title on the right sleeve. Reads as official business at university functions, board meetings, and tabling shifts.
Quarter-Zip Pullovers For Travel and Conferences
Officers traveling to regional or national org conferences need a step up from a polo. The Men's Performance Quarter-Zip and Ladies' Quarter-Zip Pullover ($35.95 Free, $29.88 VIP) carry the embroidered crest and look right on stage, in conference photos, and at the airport gate. The quarter-zip also works as a layer over a polo for officer photos.

For office hours, study sessions, or casual member meetings, the Perfect Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt ($40.96 Free, $34.88 VIP) with embroidered crest belongs in the officer kit. More relaxed than a polo, more put-together than a hoodie. The Comfort Soft Hoodie covers the same need for officers who want a hood.
Embroidery Layout That Reads Premium
The proven embroidery layout for officer pieces:
- Left chest: Org crest or letters, 3 to 4 inches wide.
- Right sleeve: Officer title (PRESIDENT, VP, TREASURER, etc.), straight stitch.
- Optional left sleeve: Year of office or academic year.
This layout reads premium at distance, photographs well, and ages without dating the piece.
Budget For a Five-Person Exec Board
A typical five-officer board, each ordering one polo and one quarter-zip:
| Item | Base (VIP) | Member Price | Per Officer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embroidered Polo | $34.88 | $45 | +$10.12 |
| Embroidered Quarter-Zip | $29.88 | $42 | +$12.12 |
| Total per officer | $64.76 | $87.00 | +$22.24 |
Five officers x $22.24 = $111.20 to the chapter from the exec board apparel run alone. Officers usually pay out of pocket and view the pieces as personal gear.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Can officers buy their pieces individually?
Yes. Each officer orders from the same branded shop, picks their size, and pays at checkout. The chapter never floats inventory or collects sizes in advance.
What about chair positions below the exec board?
Chair roles (philanthropy chair, social chair, recruitment chair, alumni chair) work with the same embroidery layout. Use the chair title on the sleeve in place of the officer title.
How long does embroidery take?
Embroidered pieces ship in about the same one-week window as printed pieces.
Can outgoing officers keep their pieces?
Yes. The piece is the officer's. Many orgs treat it as a perk of leadership and a memento of the term in office.
