How many times a week do you wear your organization colors?

[rocketgirl]

Ours are peach and black. I wear black a lot. Peach seems to be the new black for spring, so I've been picking up lots of new pieces lately. I do wear my white jacket...on a regular basis. And I just put mine in the washing machine. It still looks new after some years of washing (college kids can't afford dry cleaning). My black jacket I don't wear so much because it's a pullover and my white one is a button down which is way more flattering to my figure.

Well since our colors are light blue, dark blue, and gold(yellow) I wear them a lot. More blue then the yellow.

Those are our colors as well. I look horrible in gold/yellow, but I love blue. I wear it all the time. (My sisters laugh at me about how it's practically all they see me in ...)

I can afford drycleaning, but I am not going to take my shit to the cleaners down here they fuck up your shit and don't want to pay for it; that's why I wash it in a mild detergent and scrub the spots a little.

It's only like $5 in New York (and cheaper in Georgia). $5/month or every two months is NOT that much! You can also get Dryel (dry clean at home) which is a bit pricey but it works and you definitely get your money's worth.

The reason I stick to dry cleaning is that I tried to wash another white jacket but 1) the colors bled and 2) it came out a bit dingy. I would NEVER dry it in the dryer after washing either.

ETA: OH - you said you can afford it. I misunderstood...so, my post should go out to my pretty-in-peach sistergreek, rocketgirl!

There're no decent drycleaners in the whole area? Wow, that sucks ... Maybe just ask around; a lot of times your professors (or other people you know that have to wear dryclean only clothes for work) might be able to recommend places near campus that students wouldn't always know about.

I think everyone here (especially my soro) has given you an ideal on how to take care of your jacket. If you don't like the answer, that's fine,but I will NOT tolerate you or anybody else getting defensive and having an attitude about it.

Our colors are red and white...i wear them ALL the time....I'm almost always wearing letters of some kind, and most of my non-jewelry items are in our colors :-)

I don't think anyone was getting smart with each other, this is my thread, but no one has to tolerate anything from anyone. From what I heard no one dryclean, they say everyone fucks up your clothes; I just do it myself. I haven't had a problem washing my jacket, I just wish that I can get the spot off my collar.

tnxbutterfly is the moderator of this forum.

She was being nothing but polite when she cautioned you. In fact, the other posts in this thread have been nothing but helpful to you.

This isn't YOUR thread, honey. If it were your thread, you'd be having conversations with yourself. Just because you started it doesn't mean it's yours.

If you don't like her rules, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Our sorority's colors are Maroon and White. I have a black line jacket I wear when the weather's nice (even though I'm 7 years in and shouldn't be according to some, lol).

I take my jacket to the dry cleaners'. Why? Probably cause I paid close to $100 and that sucker is an investment

[OhioCentaur]

I wear my brown and gold daily...

[PhoenixAzul]

Following 3 years of sorority membership, my entire wardrobe can be covered in 4 colors. Royal blue and white, or red and black.

If you add in hawaiian shirts, that's technically 5.

The sheer volume of shirts I have is out of control. I end up wearing letters/colors 6 to 7 days a week, intentional and not!

[Greekopedia]

those are some sick jackets!!

I have a custom line jacket too... features a tank on the back haha

[LatinaAlumna]

When I was an undergrad, I used to wear letters/colors almost every day of the week!

As an alumna, I tend to have lots of work clothes in our colors. If I have an important presentation to give, I like to wear one of my burgundy suits because it makes me feel empowered. Of course, I have lots of silver jewelery.

By the way, Shawanda30, can you ease up on the swearing? We're sorority women here and there is no need for it. Thank you.

If i dont were my letters i wear my greeks colors 7 days a week, because our colors are orange and navy blue. So at work a orange and navy blue tie with navy blue suit, and other days u know how it goes, and weekend im in letter, and our traditions is tuesday is Organe and Navy Blue so u have to wear either letters or the fraternity colors. Undergrads will be fined if they are found not wearing letter or colors on this day....
