The letters aren't bad either.

*ZING*

Nobody at my school had letters as of 2005... I was so shocked and excited to find this! Note the massive coat of arms in the back- I couldn't find a better picture of it.

Also super cool- KKG coat of arms, same chapter. Someone very artsy obviously had a great influence!

My chapter's letters, Theta Mu at UNC Charlotte, in the snow

SO CUTE! Love that they're built to stand up on their own.

Thanks :) they're definitely not easily moved though haha. they are SO heavy. We have to put them in the middle of campus before fall recruitment and it is a feat to say the least

Can't get the image to work but DG at UCR have bedazzled/diamante letters, these are the greatest i've seen :)

Where has LucyKKG been? She was a favorite GCer...

(thread bump reminded me of her)

Those are awesome!! NEVER paint over them!

haha thanks! one of our new initiates did it, i hope they take care of them!

How do you make all these letters? Not the painting part obviously, but literally the letters? Do you order them from a company (if so, where?)?
Are they made out of a type of wood or a thick cardboard?

I want to make some! haha

Those KD letter are awesome! Lilly Pulitzer prints always catch my eye/

they are made out of wood, have no idea how though haha! i know ours were done by one of our member's fathers, and I think they used the stencil from our old ones that broke.

also, i suggest using a type of wood that isn't terribly heavy. we (and most groups i think) take them with us at all greek events like greek week and some philanthropies, and i know other sororities complain about their letters being so super heavy

thanks so much katydidKD! I like the "small" ones that are probably only about 3 or 4 feet; the handheld ones. they're super cute and work well if you don't have much storage space haha

these are from texas state's dz chapter

Tigerrawr* - the picture did not attach to your post.

TTT--It's Recruitment time. :)

I love ULM's red and white AOII letters from 2010 Bid Day, but that's probably because I'm biased because those were the ones used for my bid day plus I'm in the picture. Oh the memories...

Somebody please clue me in...are these letters all hand-painted? They look AMAZING!!! The AOPi letters are incredible...I especially love the red/white ones. Is there an easy way of transferring these images onto the letters, or do people just freehand them? Thanks for any insight!

I would say all of these are hand-painted. The letters my chapter uses (the Vera Bradley Hope Garden pattern) were first freehanded in pencil by an art major in our house, and we did a paint-by-number system so more of us could get involved and finish them faster.

Another thing that we've done for other projects (not letters) is use a projector to put the image onto the item to be painted. We then outlined the image in pencil and painted it from there. You could do this with any sort of projector- overhead, digital- things like that. They even make special art projectors for this purpose!

Those Pi Phi letters from Ole Miss *dead*

Gorgeous!

Alumyumi - The AGD letters in your post are from my chapter!

I don't know how to post pics but here is a FB picture (if the link works!)

SmileAwhile, thanks for the info. I figured that was how they were made...I guess I was just hoping there was an easier way. : )

These are all the same letters, but the center of the letters are interchangeable!!

So creative and cute!

^ How were they constructed they sound so cute

I'm not exactly sure. Her father & her did it at home over the summer - Sorry!

these are so cute! im trying to make a smaller version for me to keep in my room i just hope they look as nice as these!

this question might have been asked already but how do you get the patterns onto the letters? is it painted or fabric or something else?
