Cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons

[ZTA zetahunny]

At the age of 17, I wished Zeta had at least one "greek" or different looking letter.

I always envied Zeta's ability to use regular letters - they could get ANYTHING monogrammed!

i dropped a chapter during recruitment because there were 6 girls from my HS who were members and only one spoke to me during the round (she ended up being the recruitment VP).

i had 6 seniors drop out recently just because it was the "thing to do". all the reasons they put on their drop forms were superficial....ex...my best friend couldn't go to formal, the chapter has changed since i joined, the girl i wanted didn't get a bid.....etc. good riddens!

Me too, I was talking to one of my Zeta friends about gifts for our littles or paddles or something like that, and she was like, "Oh you can just get wooden letters at Michaels." Not if I want a Sigma! It must be great because you can get letters from anywhere, instead of just the Greek store.

Actually, you can use an M or W sideways for a Sigma! That's what we did all the time and it didn't look bad at all. Wait...maybe that won't work with another letter next to it because of the size/height differential...

Yeah, as long as the letters are more square and not elongated it works.

Are there A.C. Moore stores all over the country? They have Greek letters, paddles, crests and other wooden goodies.

Maybe I am just lucky because I've never had trouble finding Greek letters in craft stores. I recommend A.C. Moore though, especially if you are going to make a scrapbook for your little sister. They have sales frequently on all kinds of stuff. I actually found Greek letter stickers there and those have been impossible for me to find.
