Rush Row started off Pacific Coast Highway with a heat press, one printer, and a very patient neighbor. This year we're printing for chapters up and down the row.
2025. Andre and Fouad met as freshmen at Pepperdine, both studying Economics and Philosophy. One joined Sigma Chi. The other would soon become Pi Kappa Alpha's External Vice President. When Fouad's chapter ordered shirts for winter formal, the order arrived with the Greek letters printed backwards. The print shop shrugged it off, and fixing the mistake took weeks. Curious how something so simple could go so wrong, they started comparing quotes, breaking down the costs, and talking to other chapters. It didn't take long to realize the industry was full of inflated pricing, slow communication, and companies that treated Greek life like an afterthought. That night, they watched the sun dip into the Pacific from Sunset Point and started mapping out a different kind of apparel company, built by students, for students.
Today. Rush Row prints apparel for fraternities and sororities across the country. We're still student-founded. We still don't charge setup fees. And we still believe the reason we've grown is simple:
We started Rush Row because we were tired of getting screwed by print shops. The best thing we can do is never become one.
Every garment leaves our LA shop. Nothing gets shipped overseas to save a few dollars.
You pay for the shirt, the print, and the shipping. That's it. No mystery line items on the invoice.
Unlimited proofs, unlimited revisions, until you love it. We'd rather redraw it four times than ship the wrong thing.
Both students at Pepperdine. Both tired of getting overcharged.
