I believe I got all of my pledge sons basketball-style shorts with my letters on them, and shot glasses with their own letters on it.
The entire arrangement is HIGHLY frowned-upon by virtually all of the national groups.

No doubt to the questionable status of these pledge moms.
It's one thing to buy these items as you described although I am surprised you were allowed to put your letters on things given to non members. Back in our day beyond the little sisters, we had Keymen and Theta had Kitemen, but they wore the baseball jerseys with the word Kappa or Theta written with the baseball font, not our letters. In any case, it's not as time-consuming to buy things as to make things and these coolers look as if they take a tremendous amount of time and money.
