You're running around the Quad, going from one fried food stand to the next, bumping into people you haven't seen since freshman year and trying half-heartedly to listen to the music coming from the Lower Quad stage. You want to look your best without trying too hard. With your jeans taking on a new color from the beer that has found its way onto you, you realize that you may not smell good, but your t-shirt is pretty fly. So what actually constitutes a good Spring Fling tee? Street is here to figure out the best way to sport your love for Fling.
Puffy Paint
Yes, arts and crafts time was everyone's favorite activity in elementary school. Who doesn't like to whip out those old tees and redecorate? Whether you want to create matching shirts with your house or your four best friends, puffy paint is a cheap and easy way to make your own style. While you may never wear the shirt again, at least it doesn't matter if you ruin this creative disaster.
Greek Style - Frat Boy
You're a long standing member of the Greek community. You chug your beer when you're told, and you take pong competition to a whole new level. No boy can pull off the old Greek letters without some style. So your fraternity decides to jazz up the outdated Greek t-shirt and make it Flingtastic. Now everyone can recognize to which fraternity your heart lends itself, because let's be honest, when you get lost searching for the bathroom some pledge will find you and lead you back to the safety and comfort of the trashed frat house.
Greek Style - Sorority Girl
Girls are always more "protected" (read: liable) than boys. Call it what you will, but sororities have more rules and have to abide by those outdated blue laws created in the 1950s. No girls can drink in their letters, so what better way to create a fashion contest than creatively trying to signify which sorority you're in without being explicit? Seriously, when you are being drowned in a dunk tank for charity, there is no reason to wear that cute sequined top you got from Intermix. Get down and dirty while matching your friends. It really is about sisterhood, after all.
Spending the G's
You're a snob and proud of it. All these people who roll around in the mud in the Quad in a crappy old t-shirt and jeans are so beneath you. So you decide to order shirts with a couple of other pretentious Ivy Leaguers. But how are you going to color coordinate? Perhaps order nice polos that when you flip the collar, expose 4003, your house address. Or you can take it to a whole new level and get silk-screened shirts with a photo of your choice (but let's keep it G-rated). Either way, you are willing to spend the cash in the name of fashion.
