Trendy Work Week Merch That Won’t Let Your Chapter Down
Work Week is like pre-season for sororities, and it’s definitely one of the most intense Greek life events you’ll ever experience. You're prepping for chants, organizing rooms, and practicing convos that'll win over PNMs. While you’re doing all that, PNMs are stalking your Insta and TikTok - and we all know that RushTok has turned Work Week into THE recruitment hack (thanks Bama!).
Why Work Week Merch Matters
That’s why what you and the girls wear throughout the entire week matters. Work Week photos and videos aren’t just for memories, they’re your chapter’s intro for the entire recruitment season. Plus, cute merch brings everyone together, boosts morale, and helps your chapter create a strong first impression without saying a word. It’s how you make a visual statement: in group pics, mirror selfies, or dance vids filmed in front of the house.
Still, with all the expenses chapters juggle - like decor, meals, events - it’s tempting to cut corners on the clothes. But cheap merch comes with its own price.
The Problem With Cheap Merch
Opting for the cheapest option might seem like a win until you realize:
-
The shirts are too thin or see-through
-
Designs aren’t accurate and peel after one wash
-
You need to pay for rush shipping for reorders
And let’s not forget: PNMs will notice and compare. When your chapter’s standing next to another one in quality matching sets, cheap-looking merch immediately sends the wrong message. You don’t want people to think that your chapter’s unprepared and messy, do you?
Trust us, it's not worth the stress. Starting with quality saves your chapter time, energy, and a lot of “ugghhh why did we order these” texts. Your chapter needs to go for pieces that’ll survive the week and stay cute through every photo. That’s why we’ve compiled our top picks for Work Week merch based on real reviews and orders.

Bella + Canvas Ladies' Slouchy T-Shirt
Bella + Canvas Ladies' Slouchy T-Shirt
This is for the cozy crew. Ideal for casual sisterhood nights, banner painting, or the morning-after recap brunch. It feels like your favorite oversized tee, just way cuter.

- "Amazing design, extremely soft and super cute!! Everyone in my chapter loves this merch!" – Sydney, Alpha Phi
Comfort Colors Adult Heavyweight RS Tank
Comfort Colors Adult Heavyweight RS Tank
This is honestly the best choice when you can’t decide between a full tee or a tank top. The arm holes are a bit bigger and the fabric is thinner, so it’s best if you wear a tube top or cute bralette under. These look great cropped too - just like how the girls from Delta Zeta did it.
- “LOVE THESE SHIRTS THEYRE MY FAVORITE” – Kaki, Kappa Kappa Gamma
- “The shirts fit nice and loose, and they looked great together as a group.” – Annabelle, Kappa Kappa Gamma
BOTTOMS THAT HOLD UP
Fresh Prints Miami Heavyweight Shorts
Fresh Prints Miami Heavyweight Shorts
The MVP of door stack practice and room setup days. These shorts are breathable but thick, comfy for all body types, and made for movement. You'll end up wearing them way past Work Week for sure.
- “Loved these shorts. Girls commented that they are good for girls of all sizes as they are roomy around the legs and a very heavy, thick, comfy material" – Emily, Sigma Kappa
- "The product is super cute and exactly how it looked in the pictures when ordering!" – Natalie, Delta Delta Delta
- "I always get worried buying shorts before trying them on because I hate when the waistband feels too tight, but the waist band was perfect!" – Chloe, Delta Delta Delta
Fresh Prints Madison Shorts
This is another great choice for getting through the busiest days of prep. It's made from 100% cotton, so it's super soft but gives you the right amount of coverage so you can move freely. Bonus points if you match it with any of the tanks or shirts mentioned above!
- "The shorts are extremely good quality and fill well. I was worried that the white was going to be see through, but it's not at all. The length and dimensions are also perfect and it fits like a glove" – Beatriz, Alpha Chi Omega
- "I actually love these shorts a lot and wear them almost too much." – Madalyn, Alpha Delta Pi
Soffe Authentic Short
The classic cheer/dance short you’ve definitely seen before. These are great for chant practices or team TikToks - and they still hit every time. Make these shorts even more unique by adding text on the back. The girls from Zeta Tau Alpha, Michigan State University, definitely know how to pull it off!
Fresh Prints Poppy Shorts
These are a great pick if you don’t want the usual solid colored shorts. They add a fun vintage vibe to any Work Week outfit; and they’re comfy enough for lounging between events or running errands with your recruitment chair. Available in two styles: gingham and striped.
- "These shorts are perfect for lounging around or elevating an outfit to a sisterhood event! They are super comfy, and the stretchy waistband is a great feature!" – Arden
ACCESSORIES
The Banner Store Custom Flag
You can’t make dance vids in front of the house if there’s no cool banner for everyone to see!! When the camera’s too far to catch the details of the amazing merch y’all have on, your banner still makes sure your chapter shows up loud and proud.
Otto Foam Trucker Hats
Trucker hats are the move for anything outdoors. Plus, they’re perfect if you’re doing Work Week themes like Retro World, Camp Vibes Only, or Happy Place. Throw one on for spirit days or when you have to run outside but your hair just isn’t cooperating.
- "I LOVED the trucker hat! it is so fun and so cute to wear. I am so glad I bought one!!" – Liza, Chi Omega
- "Great affordable option for bid day gifts in bulk." – Victoria, Phi Mu
- "Loved the "lucky me I'm a chi o" trucker hats!!!!" – Tallulah, Chi Omega
Mega Cap Inc Summer Trucker Cap
Mega Cap Inc Summer Trucker Cap
A great alternative to the Otto version, this is also a solid pick for long sunny days of prep and practice. Keeps you cool and coordinates with just about every outfit.
- "Loved the hats, super cute design and came in exactly how we expected them to look!!" – Isabella, Kappa Alpha Theta
- "These turned out so much better than expected!! They're so perfect, and all of our girls can't wait to wear them!!" – McKenzie, Delta Delta Delta
Make It Count
Work Week is nonstop. You’re talking, dancing, sweating, and smiling for hours. The last thing you want is a thin tee, a weird fit, or a design that looked better on the mockup. When your chapter looks good, you feel good - and it will show.
Plus, this stuff ends up in bid day photo dumps, senior slideshows, and alumni posts. It’s more than just a week, it’s part of your chapter’s brand.
