I will add, however, do err on the side of subtlety. If the tradition on campus is thin stoles, don't get the double-wide stoles with extra shit on them.

Agree. Or, if you want to be more subtle, what about cords? I'll admit, I much prefer them to stoles anyway.

Thanks for all of the input everyone. I still have time to decide, so I'm definitely going to think about it. Who knows, I may do something totally different. And if I do decide on the stole, I'll probably do one similar to the ones used by my chapter instead of one like the girls at my current school use since they have obvious differences.

This is something I hadn't thought about. I like the idea, but honestly, I'm a Kappa and I'm like 99% sure a lot of the honor society cord's I've seen have a blue cord. I'm not sure if any honor society uses blue & blue cords, but that could be treading in murky waters.

Some institutions are picky about cords since they often designate honors graduates or something similar. If you're thinking about doing something other than a stole, you might want to check with the office responsible for graduation (usually the registrar's office). I've seen students removed from the line-up for failing to adhere to the institution's identified graduation regalia requirement. You don't want to deal with that!
