Creating t-shirts is an art pivotal to many organizations, especially in the college domain. The sorority apparel chair of Sigma Delta Tau, Claudia Miller, said the process begins by meeting with the event planner to brainstorm ideas for the design.

After deciding on a concept, the designer must research companies to select which is most suitable for their event. This decision is often based on the desired look of the final product depending on whether the desire is to be “artsy”, “cheesy” or something in between.

Finally, a design is selected and approved by the organization, and the t-shirts are ordered. “It’s very rewarding,” said Miller, “People really end up appreciating your work.”
