My chapter are mad letter-makers. I know I have at least ten sets becuase I keep making new ones. I know everyone doesn't have sewing talent, but it's pretty easy to learn. We have a sewing machine set up in our sorority room so we can all go down and make them whenever. Usually when one person makes one eveyone gets the fever. We have them in all different sizes and styles. Sometimes we make our own patterns. For those of you that have never made your own before, here's a tip: when you get fabric at the store, buy an adheisve (I personally prefer Stich-Witchery, it's excellent) to adhear your letters to your shirt before you sew. Then all you have to do is sew around the edges because it stays put!
In terms of buying them though, ColorMeGreek comes once a semester with three big boxes of stuff and we buy what we want from there. I only bought one shirt from that thopugh because it's expensive and I like making my letters more personal to me, not just plaid. Our school store stinks because we are such a small school so we drive all the way out to Slippery Rock to get our goodies like waterbottles, keychains, etc. That can be a pain, plus we all end up having the same stuff. I'm lucky though, I live in Dayton and I go home to a store on UD's campus that has really cute stuff that no one else has. But I do definetely recommend trying to sew your own letters sometime. It's so much cheaper and it allows you to express yourself with cute fabrics.
