Hey,

I just have a question. I have just started to date this guy whose a Sigma Pi alum. Not very long. I cant think of anything to get him for Christmas and he hasnt given any suggestions..except one day we were talking and I said that I only had only 2 sets of letters ( i know pathetic!! lol) and he said because he has had so many little's that he has no letters except one rush shirt left and that he would like more. SO i am wondering would it be an okay gift to get him a sweatshirt with Sigma Pi letters with his class and date he got in? Its the only thing i really know that he needs..but i dont know if thats a good idea: would other guys like this if their new girlfriend got them letters? is it too corny or stupid? Or appropriate?

Help!

thanks,

if he mentioned he only had one set of letters left get him a set. What could it hurt?

It sounds like a good idea to me. Because you haven't been dating for a long time, you don't want to freak him out by getting him anything too serious, expensive or sentimental. Letters would be perfect, and by picking out colors and a design that you think he would like, it would show that you're thoughtful as well.

Have fun, and I hope he likes the sweatshirt if you end up getting one!

It's an interesting idea, and I think it would be a good gift. But, since you probably don't know this guy's tastes very well, I suggest instead that you give him a gift certificate to a greek store in the amount that a good-quality letter sweatshirt would cost, and let him pick colors and patterns. Just a thought.

Yes is good idea.

I have to agree with Optimist Prime, and say Yes with getting the letters.

I think getting him letters is definitely a great idea...if you're worried about the colors, just get him something in their colors (purple and gold, I believe) or in colors you know he likes.

I think it's a good idea. It shows that you've put some thought and effort into your gift.
