You can always commission a textile artist to design and make the quilt for your daughter if no one in your circles sew. Message me if you are interested in such an endeavor.

My favorite thing to do with sorority shirts I have no further use for is to send them to a chapter. I've never met a sorority chapter that wasn't happy to have some extra shirts to give to members.

I like that idea, QueenD!

There are two NPC sororities I can think of off the top of my head that only allow initiated sisters to wear the Greek letters: Alpha Epsilon Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta. If your daughters are in either of those sororities, and they have items with the Greek letters on them, then I suggest you send them to your daughters. If they don't want them, give them to another family member or a friend who is a sister, or, failing that, send them to a chapter. If absolute push comes to absolute shove, destroy them.

Otherwise, I would say that if your daughters don't want them and you don't know of a sister or a chapter that would take them, you could donate them rather than destroying them.

I cannot speak definitively for non-NPC groups, but I'm near certain that none of the NPHC sororities (or fraternities) allow anyone other than initiated members to wear their letters - so what I described for AEPhi and Theta would apply there too. I'll step aside and let an actual NPHC member correct me if I'm wrong.

You wrote that you're not going to make a t-shirt quilt. There are quiltmakers who do that professionally. Google "t-shirt quilt" or "memory quilt" and you'll get a lot of hits.

Expect to pay $350 to $400 for a shirt that uses approx. 16 shirts.
