I don't like cuff links with my fraternity letters or shield on them. I would personally want something a little more subtle, like a fraternity symbol that's doesn't SCREAM APhiA.

Well, I know my guy doesn't have French cuffed shirts, so I guess that's out of the question.

I don't think the shield would scream APhiA (or Theta Chi, in his case). I think the letters would be too blatant, though. Even if I lived in an area where Greek life was more visible, I think a shield on a cuff link is pretty small and discreet.

Shields scream APhiA for those of us who are familiar with their shield.

A symbol would be less subtle, depending on the symbol. Some symbols would be cheesy in cufflinks.

French cuffs were made for cuff links! That means, that there was extra shirt sleeves that were folded over to take them. I had a ton of very nice links and some old fashiomned pealed ones from my heretaqge!

Then there the convertable sleeves that had both buttons and slits in the cuffs. You could do either one.

Classy, yes!


They were worn normally on formal occasions or if you worked in the Rag business as I did with Macy's. Fashion was a prime thing. Funny thing, I always loved the plastic flower that I pinned on each morning!

Today that has gone by the way side as shortsleves are worn today! Well if they ever wear them.
