Back in the day, we used to get sweatshirts on clearance and bring them in to a local vendor to have letters sewn on.

Our vendors in the DC area won't do that.

So true, so sad.

I really don't know of any in the area. I'm sure Santa Cruz doesn't have anywhere to do it, and I wasn't involved in Greek life over here in San Jose, so I'm not really sure.

Anyway, I ended up ordering a sweatshirt from Gone Greek. They gave me a 10% discount cause I was a new user, so it was only $29.60 with shipping. I got more conservative colors, and I'm going to get "Alumna" embroidered on it when it arrives. It'll be way cheaper to get done locally, and it's easy to find an embroidery place. Yay!

If a place does embroidery, they typically will be able to satin stitch letters onto a garment in a fabric of your choosing. That's been my experience, anyway.

I'm very sad that so many have had such bad experiences recently. We ordered our Exec Board jackets from them about a year ago- they came as promised, and are very nicely done. I guess I won't be ordering from them either...

Oh really? Hmph! Oh well, too late now. I just figured there weren't any specific shops around here that did Greek clothing. Plus, asking them to embroider "alumna" is pretty simple and fool-proof. I did that with another sweatshirt 2 years ago. My chapter did a group order of these sweatshirts with stuff on the back, but they left the front blank cause it was cheaper. I always thought it looked funny being completely blank, so I finally got our letters embroidered on the top left corner in small letters.

A place to look is where the high schoolers would go for team sports.

Just to let everyone know, at work today (I work at the HQ for my sorority) I told them about this whole ordeal with greekclothing.com, one of the girls sent an e-mail to IDK who? But obviously someone important about the whole thing and is attempting to get their greek licensing taken away...hopefully this works, but who knows?
