Paddle Help!

Does anyone know of a store in Chicago where I can find greek letters? I already tried the Michael's, but they don't have an Omega. Oooh.. I hope someone reads this before Saturday!

Thanks!

Is there an A.C. Moore near you? I've seen Greek Letters in some of them.

Probably from observing the other chapters on campus. Just because a group is new, doesn't mean it exists in a vacuum.

Good question.
Well...my little and I decided to start it ourselves, so over the summer I've been working on a paddle to present to her for our retreat. I just can't seem to find an Omega anywhere! Hopefully this will be passed down to her little and so on. But thanks for all the help! I found a store in Evanston (albeit pricey!!) that sold some.

Sorry but I read this too late to respond in time. That little store in Evanston is great; it's just north of the Barnes & Noble by Northwestern's campus, a little south of the sorority quads (east side of the street). I've bought my brother, a Northwestern alumn, several items from there in the past. In the basement there are alot of Greek letter items; if they don't have what you need, they will get it or have it made for you. I assume that they supply the Northwestern GLO's with their Greek-letter items. I'm glad that you found it on your own in time. If I had to tell you this after the paddle's "due date" I would have felt really bad.
