Jerseys are not only worn by students in greek organizations, but also non-greek fraternity members, ROTC members and people who just like the fashion. "It shows a lot of pride, that's why 1 wear them," said advertising/public relations junior Chuck M^rricntl i*IU I I I 1V/I I . I Although these jerseys look sharp and feel comfortabl*. the price is not cheap. A basic jersey with single color letters and trim costs about $13 to $15. One with outlined letters will cost between $16 and < $20. ; Additional expense sets in when you add numbers, names and other decorations on the i sleeves and back. For some students, especially the traditionally black sororities and fraternities, the additional letters and decoration are the rule rather : than the exception.

"The right sleeve has the chapter letters." Johnson said the backs of the AKA jerseys may also include nicknames acquired during the pledge period, numbers and stars. But tradition doesn't always dictate what goes on a jersey. i or example, some letters are available in plaid, polka-dot and even paisley and the jerseys come in different colors. Campus Traditions in the Carolina Mall only carries one color jersey for each organization. "I have a manual, Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities, that lists general information about the sororities and fraternities and I did some research with that," said Ken Wood, assistant director of merchandising operations of Campus Traditions. Reasons for wearing jerseys differ, but USC students can probably agree on one thing: "It's the most comfortable thing in the closet," said ad/pr senior Kim Cubine.
