Colleges & Greek Life — Custom Apparel
Fraternity, Sorority & Campus Organization Apparel — Orange County
Greek and campus orders run on a student timeline, which means the deadline is always sooner than it should be and the budget is split across 40 people. We print for chapters and campus organizations across Southern California from our Garden Grove shop, and we are used to working from a Canva file at 11pm two weeks before the event.
Two things chapters get burned on: stitched letters done cheaply, and rush fees nobody warned them about. Twill letters need to be sewn properly or they curl off after a semester — we sew, we do not glue. And we quote rush honestly up front, so your treasurer is not explaining a surprise to the chapter.

Which Method Fits Your Order
We recommend the method that fits the job — not the one that is easiest for us.
The signature Greek look. Letters are cut from twill and sewn down, not adhered — that is why ours survive four years.
Best value on rush, philanthropy and event shirts once you cross 24 pieces.
For 10-25 piece runs with full-color art — no screen charges, so a small exec-board order stays cheap.
Photo-real one-offs, senior gifts and single custom pieces.
No job too small. No job too big.
We print for brands that sell to Macy's, Ross, TJ Maxx, Fashion Nova and PacSun — and for the schools, teams and studios down the street. There is no order minimum. For screen printing we suggest 24 pieces or more because the per-piece price drops, but it is a suggestion, never a requirement.
Turnaround
Standard production is 5-7 business days. Rush service is available in 1-3 days — call (714) 766-4601 before you order so we can confirm the date honestly rather than after you have paid.
Colleges & Greek Life — FAQ
We sew them. Twill letters are cut and stitched onto the garment. Glued letters are cheaper and they peel — we do not do that.
There is no minimum. For screen printing we suggest 24 pieces because the price per piece improves, but we will print 8 if that is what you need.
Usually yes, and if it will not print cleanly our in-house designer can rebuild it as a print-ready file. We tell you before we print, not after.
Send us one roster with names and sizes and we will produce it as a single order. For separate payment, ask us about a team store page.
Rush production is 1-3 business days once artwork is approved. Call us and we will tell you straight whether your date works.
