My local had a tradition of giving identical lettered T-shirts to each pledge class when they were initiated. Our colors were green and purple, so my pledge class's shirts were green letters, white background, on purple shirts - the previous pledge class (the founders) had purple letters, white background, on green shirts.
My first AEPhi letters... I'd had a black sweatshirt made up with my local's letters. When we affiliated with AEPhi, I took the sweatshirt back to the store and asked them if they could change the letters, and they did! Floral print, white background. They were actually ready before our initiation, so I was able to wear them immediately afterwards.
josh8o, wear your new letters with pride!
