Her organization has three letters if that matters.

I was just thinking something casual and comfy. I do see some women after college wearing their letters, but it is not a common occurrence. I just don't want her to look like a walking billboard.

I remember we had that topic on the boards about wearing letters after graduation. It had mixed reviews/opinions. I just think if it is done tastefully, why not?

If you did embroidery, would you do just the three letters or would you also place alumna below them?

I sometimes wear satin stitched letters, even though I am well out of college. If I do, it's usually at outdoor events like fairs or to alumnae events. I think that if she talks about the stitched letter sweatshirts/hoodies more than a few times, then that might be the route to go.

But I do like the idea of a polo or hoodie with embroidered letters. Or, you can do a canvas tote bag. I think most women (moms or not) could use a bag for those soccer games or whatever.

Lastly, I often get coupons for Greekgear. I have several items from them; they are good quality, affordable and fast. I'll keep an eye out - they usually send me one once a week.

ETA: I found a bunch of coupon codes online: http://www.dealtaker.com/GreekGear-c...de-a959-c.html

I would put "alumna" below the letters. You don't want her to worry about strange looks or anything.

So many women in my old Alumnae Association mentioned how nice it would be to have a long-sleeved polo with our letters and "alumna" done fairly small on one side.

Embroidered letters would definitely look a lot better than block letters.

I think it's a great gift.
