What's your favorite wearable item that displays your affilliation?
 
What is your favorite item that you like to wear which displays your affiliation? (shirt, jewelry, jacket, etc., etc.,) and why?

eightball 02-07-2002 05:35 PM

Do you really want me to answer? ;)

AOX81 02-07-2002 05:41 PM

My favorite item
 
My favorite item is the first lettered sweatshirt that I ever received. It is old and raggedy now but I still love it and I will never part with it.

Have a nice day :)

My family letters. My big brother made them up. Since we are only very recently a chapter (in fact, I'm techinally a founding father), most family colors, id eis big/lil shirts that match, come from shirts that the big brothers had and then got one that matched for their little brothers. But my big brother decided that he didn't want to that, so he makes up our family letters, and I am the first person to ever wear them. I got him a shirt that matched so he could have a set of family letters, since he started the family, for xmas, bday, etc. They are dark green in the front, with a tan background on a forest/dark green shirt. Lots of people say they look good.

Well, other than my standard letter shirt with my family colors (red and black), I love wearing my blue pullover with a gold band around the middle and the letters APO (greek) on the left side.

KillarneyRose 02-07-2002 08:48 PM

My Badge. Because every time I wear it I am aware that every one of my sisters has the exact same (more or less) badge and it feels great knowing I'm a small part of something bigger.

greeklawgirl 02-07-2002 09:29 PM

Killarney, you took the words right out of my mouth. I always stand a little taller everytime I'm wearing my badge. :)

Sisterplum 02-07-2002 10:49 PM

Mine would be my sorority sweatshirt with my letters on it! Every time I wear it out I think of my sisters and our bond!:) It makes me feel closer to them, just wearing it (even though we are thousands of miles apart!)

I love when greeks see my sweater and say "Where's that from? It's not on our campus" and I say "Canada....it's my local sorority"!!!!!:D:D:D

ADPiSweety 02-07-2002 11:09 PM

My favorite wearable item that displays ADPi is my first set of letters that I got from my diamond sis...They are our own personal family letters with a leopard print, and she got it embroidered with my name over the A and underneath the Pi she had love diamond sis arin....i love it =)

Aphigal 02-08-2002 12:03 AM

1. one of the first set of A Phi letters I ever got. The cuffs are rotting off and I can only wear it around the house but I love it.

2. and antique badge I got on ebay before it was the rage.

3. a gold APhi pin (just a piece of jewelery, not a badge) I got lst year.

Peaches-n-Cream 02-08-2002 12:10 AM

I had a great D Phi E key ring that I loved. My mother gave me a ring with my greek letters which was great. I had a pink sweatshirt with pink teddy bear letters. Very cute!

lilsnakeyk 02-08-2002 12:54 AM

Hands down, my favorite Sigma Kappa item to wear is my badge. I feel such pride in all of my sisters, and feel humbled by the thought of all those who have worn the badge before me.

I definately would have to agree with a lot of others in saying my badge. I wear it proudly with my guard and officer dangles (I've accumulated quite a lot!). It makes me feel very proud when I wear it. I hope to soon get the pearl badge! woohoo! I'm saving up! But besides that and all my funky patterned letters (leopard print, sparkly purple hawaiin print...) I have a AGD shirt that we bought from our Hawaii chapter that has a picture of a surfing squirrel on the back and says Alpha Gamma Delta
University of Hawaii, Manoa. I think they sold them as a fundraiser to all the other chapters. Anyway, it's adorable and I love wearing it, because I live in Michigan... where it snows... a lot... I wish I lived in Hawaii...

Thank you for buying it! I remember when we first got them... the alums fell in love with it right away...and so one of them thought it'd be a brilliant idea to sell them to other chapters! It was a trip to see so many of our sisters wearing our shirts at Convention!

That shirt's one of my favorites also. I have an Alpha Gamma Delta baseball-type shirt that I got at Convention last summer. I wear it all the time and it's getting kinda worn, but it's so comfy! It's not in our colors, but it's nice looking anyway.

The1calledTKE 02-08-2002 01:14 AM

My badge!

Demon Knight 02-08-2002 01:35 AM

The one thing that I have is my Paddle that I wear around my kneck ALWaYS! It's a constant reminder of what my fraternity stands for :)

Fraternally,

UMgirl 02-08-2002 04:33 AM

Now that I think about it my favorite thing to wear is my badge. There is that special feeling that I get from it. And I miss it and want it back (I let a sister borrow it and she hasnt given it back yet, why do i get this feeling she lost it? ;)).
Besides my badge it'd be a tie between my lavaliere which I pretty much wear 24/7 and my white hooded baby doll long tee with my letters in red and yellow on the chest.

eightball 02-08-2002 11:07 AM

My beer bottle opener keychain.

AOII_Luv 02-08-2002 11:26 AM

I think my favorite thing to wear would be the silver ring that I received from my mother for Christmas with AOII engraved in it. It is a very pretty ring!

Courtney

xo_sue 02-08-2002 11:40 AM

A Tiffany styled bracelet but the heart has XO engraved on it.

PennStateQT 02-09-2002 10:33 AM

My lavaliere was a gift from my mother (I'm a legacy) and it makes me feel special every time I wear it!

AOIIBrandi 02-09-2002 10:43 AM

I think the thing I wear the most is a formal shirt. It is long sleeve dark green, and has a skyline on the back. One of our sisters designed it :cool: After that it would be this big/lil T-shirt that turned up in my room one day. It is not from my chapter and has no chapter name on it. I have worn it out :(

AGDAlum 02-10-2002 07:31 PM

Alpha Gamma Delta's Rose Drop is a lovely piece of jewelry. It is our double rose framed in a billet (one of the elements of our coat of arms). The Rose Bracelet features three Rose Drops and 3 annulets (another element from the coat of arms).

I love my badge, but the Rose Drop is certainly distinctive.

tridelta4ever 02-10-2002 07:57 PM

I love wearing this old DDD sweatshirt that is blue with really pretty colored letters. It's been with me all over the world and I will never part with it. I also have a cute pair of sweatpants with my greek letters on the bottom. They're really comfy.

Of course, I love my lavalier and my badge best of all...

aggieAXO 02-10-2002 09:50 PM

My AXO rain pullover jacket-it is so useful and cute. I also have a Tiffany style heart bracelet with AXO engraved in the heart.

maggieaxid 02-10-2002 10:17 PM

My favorite used to be a pretty silver clasp bracelet with AZD engraved on it. But, after i graduated I handed it down to my gandlil'.
now, my favorite thing to wear as an alum is my short sleeve navy blue formal tee that says "heaven doesn't want us and hell can't stand us!"with two angels on the back.
i am planning on wearing my quill badge under my wedding dress too!

lifesaver 02-11-2002 03:28 AM

My green Lambda Chi Lacrosse shorts

Optimist Prime 02-11-2002 03:33 AM

I ordered a sweatshirt a few days agao. When that gets here, I'm sure that will be my favorite.

ThetaGirl1997 02-14-2002 02:26 AM

I have a charm that is just a small silver kite that I never take off.

carnation 02-14-2002 09:36 AM

Definitely my pin...as I mentioned in a thread awhile back, it has 8 opals that are actually wine and blue (the Pi Phi colors) instead of the milky color I've seen in the opals in other Pi Phi pins.

I do have several shirts as well and I wear them often. I hope to teach my daughters that sorority membership is lifelong and that was reinforced recently when we had the Atlanta GC meeting and AGDLynn and dzrose wore their shirts too!

ROWDYsister 05-18-2002 05:52 AM

My orange and blue anorak is the best. We go to school in Florida, so the anoraks are only practical some of the time, but it's part of the "Sorority girl uniform." (that, and a pair of reefs!) We wear our letters in big white embroidery, but we're all orange and blue, so while we have house pride, we're also Gators (which is nice, b/c it makes ya a little less snippy with other girls!)

And you can't beat the classic lavalier. When I was pledging, that was all I wanted, and I still love it. I never wear it without my trusty arrow charm, too.

KDHoney 05-18-2002 07:57 AM

My badge obviously, but also a ring that I had made. The band is white gold and the letters are gold. It's awesome and it goes with anything...I wear it all of the time. Besides jewelry, I love this baseball t-shirt I have. It has green sleeves and a white body. The front says "Perfect" with KD in the tail of the t.

LeslieAGD 05-18-2002 09:07 AM

Besides my badge, my lavalier, which I almost never take off, and the first set of letters that I bought for myself.

XOAlumXO 05-18-2002 09:45 AM

Back in school, the Greeks would make it a point to wear their jerseys- usually a gift from your big. The rule in my chapter was you couldn't wear a jersey until you were initiated, so that was a big deal.

I just bought a Tiffany necklace and am thinking or engraving XO on the heart........

AGDLynn 05-18-2002 10:46 AM

I wear my AGD Rosedrop necklace almost every day. I posted on the AGD site that when I wore it at Tom's family's house last weekend, I got compliments on it...they thought hubby had given it to me.

I'd love to wear my pearl badge with pendant necklace more but it's more formal than I usually wear. I'm thinking of getting a plain badge to wear more often. :D

Carnation, I bought that sweatheart for our meeting, lol.

I am involved in a local Panhell. group that will be participating in a local July 4th parade. I think we are getting t-shirts with a USA flag and our letters!

Kevin 05-18-2002 11:07 AM

I'd have to say my badge... Has my chapter name MT and initiate number on the back 5. When I come into some money one of these days I'm getting a jeweled badge (I heard balfours makes them but have no idea what they cost or how to find out)

If anyone knows, PM me please!

TrojanGirl 05-18-2002 11:08 AM

My badge and my shirt with my letters on it my big got me. My chapter has a tradition of littles and bigs giving t-shirts on initiation day. The whole thing is a big secret. My big and I managed to get each other the SAME shirt... It was so cool.

Tom Earp 05-18-2002 04:09 PM

Have to agree with ZEKE and UMgirl!!!! MY BADGE.

It is the only thing I have! But have had it since 1966, White Gold, Pearls in the Cresent , Saphires in the Lambda, with LX guard with pearls!

I am trying to find a maker of Polo Shirts that dont want to jam us so that the Alums and Actives alike have something to wear in public and on campus!

I never was a t-shit guy!

ROWDYsister 05-18-2002 05:03 PM

When do you wear your badges? No one at my school ever wears them, with the exception of dress chapter which is every other week.

dzsaigirl 05-18-2002 05:51 PM

My number one favorite thing is my badge.

My favorite shirt is one of our bid day shirts. You can see it on the main page at our website.

I am also a fan of my DZ flip flops.
