Super Fabulous Letters

[AOII Angel]

Okay, this is the only place I can get to let me type. I love the monster AChiO letters, the simple
but professional Theta letters, but my favorite are these bubble AXiD letters that have creatively
solved the Xi problem better than any chapter I've ever seen!

You have excellent taste! These were my favorites too. And the Xi problem (although making me laugh from the phrasing) does make the letters more of a challenge. But again I ask, what are these made of? ESPECIALLY the A Chi O letters. They look like they're styrofoam, but so professional looking. I notice in some pictures the girls are holding their letters up with one hand, so not wood. I'm perplexed and it makes my head hurt!...

The ones at Ole Miss (for the most part) are wood. AOII at Ole Miss also has a smaller set of letters that are made of thick foam board. I would imagine the key to making the letters look so good is someone that can use a skill saw. (I think that is the proper term for that type of tool.)

I can imagine some letters are easier than others but the Xi is probably the hardest to make! I love the Alpha Xi Delta bubble letters too!

Hee hee...you know what I meant, but I guess it doesn't sound so positive!

I wish I had a picture of the foam letters I made for our windows in the dorm when I was a collegian. I wouldn't recommend using them for this purpose (Bid Day) since a stiff wind would crack them in half. They were really cute, though, since I made them with a panda bear over each letter. The pandas were holding hearts, and each one was different. The letters were massive and completely filled the windows of our dorm rooms, so the entire bottom floor of the sorority dorm screamed "AOII!" Of course, we later found out that the foam (used as building insulation) was flammable...oops!

They're not just repainted; they're completely new letters. I like the stripes. Very cute.

yeah i realized that after i hit post. =P
they WERE repainting the letters each year, bc the ones in the first post were the ones we used when i was there, but my last year they were solid blue with a white trim, nothing fancy. from recruitment pics it looks like fall 2009 was the last run for that set. i definitely like the new ones better.

These are more formal looking. I think they'll be more versatile.
