In my chapter, our founding sisters started off as twins or triplets, thus creating our original families. Then, when a founder took their first lil sis, they chose a fabric pattern for their growing family, and when a new member is added to the family at initiation, they recieve their first set of letters in their family pattern. The idea behind this was when our founders came back to visit the chapter, they could pick out who was in there family by the color or pattern of the letters they were wearing.
Each of the fabrics represents a little bit of the original founding sister. One of our founders is really Irish, so her pattern in green with clovers on it. Another one of our founder is really crazy and loves leopard print, so she chose a furry leopard pattern. My family is a blue with silver sparkles on it, which might sound generic, but is absolutely perfect for my family.
