It is very hard to find fabric with sorority letters or names as motifs. I have only come across Pi Phi fabric for my daughter once and that was way back in Winter of 2007. Luckily I bought it all at the time. Some of the fabric went for stitched letter sweatshirts and some went for a bag, but there is still some to use for her t-shirt quilt when she is ready to relinquish her college shirts.

You can print your own fabric with an inkjet printer and treated fabric. The notions dept. of fabric stores carry 8.5 x 11 sheets of treated fabric that are designed to run through a computer printer. You can print photographs on the fabric as well as other images. The problem is that a standard sheet of paper is fairly small as compared to yardage normally needed for craft projects.

Alternatively you could look for small-scale versions of your org's motifs. 1930's reproduction fabrics are the perfect scale for block letters and have many different motifs. I was able to find arrow fabric that worked quite well.
