My first set of letters were given to me on the day I was initiated by my big sis, as we weren't allowed to wear letters, only Pi Phi spelled out, until we were initiated. My family tradition was to have letters that went down the right side of the sweatshirt vertically instead of the usual across the chest. They were on a light grey sweatshirt, and were tiny flowers outlined in green. I was so excited to FINALLY get to wear them.
My UGLIEST letters were ones that I bought myself when I was a junior -- white letters with navy polk-a-dots, with a navy background letter, on a forest green sweatshirt -- bad enough, but when I washed them the first time the background letter ran onto the white/polkadot letters, turning the white a horrible greenish/blue! They were awful. I passed them on to my grandlittle as a joke when I was a senior, and I hear that they are still being passed on 6 years later...at least they had longevity!
