Why thank you for noticing! We refer to them as the Psi goblets. They are Beleek Irish China and were given to brides from Psi Chapter (Univ. of Arkansas) and at least on one occassion to a member of another chapter. The Chi Omega archives possess seven of the goblets -- all in a shade of light green. No one knows how many were presented, but apparently they were also made in shades of cranberry and light blue. Around the top of the goblet are Chi Omega words and symbols in gold.
I'll see if I can post a picture!

So pretty - it's a shame they don't still give them. I guess they went out of fashion. I also love the Chi Omega handkerchiefs - apparently it used to be the tradition for a big sister to give her little sister an embroidered handkerchief to be used to wrap her wedding bouquet.

That is such a cool tradition and the picture is really beautiful!
On a side note, sometimes I wonder if we have all become a little too jaded after reading so many spam threads that we jump on people who really aren't spammers...I only say that because I know that the Tri Delts at Wisconsin sometimes call themselves "wisco deltas" and I would be surprised if some random internet spammer was in on that name. Then again, maybe I'm being naiive...

Ok, so I'm late to the ball, but just had to comment. They're not formal dishes, but www.merrybelles.com has some neat options for ceramic/stoneware items with Greek letters. Hubby and I have our red/buff roses things as well as violets alongside my squirrels and his lions (see a theme here?). If GLO is as important to bride & groom as it is to you, then go for it. Otherwise, you might consider a shower gift with letters rather than your formal wedding gift.
