I know they aren't chocolate molds, but how about cookie cutters?

I used to have a great-aunt Mildred!

Ya, but how many people would buy it?

It sounds like no one is making this product anymore, so maybe it's craft project time!

How about make your own molds:

Try either the Silicone Plastique or the Silicone Spread Food Grade, both are non-toxic and safe for use with food.

For your original mold, maybe a wooden disc (from the craft store) glued to a wooden letter (from the Greek store).

Yay projects!

I saw this, also. But how much does that stuff weigh? If you need more than a few pounds, it's going to get kind of pricey.

Even those cookie cutter molds are expensive. I think I figured it to be $60 for an Alpha, Sigma and Tau. And for a Gamma, Phi and Beta, it would be more than $70!

Yeah, this might get expensive fast. Another option would be to use plaster of paris and then just cover the final mold with plastic wrap. I also read about using a pan of fine sand (don't know if wet or dry), which would also require plastic wrap, but would be much cheaper.

This stuff is a little cheaper:

I still don't know how many molds a pound of it would make.

Do you have photos, or know where to get the molds for any other sororities?
