does every other GLO wear letters? We don't, as a rule. We'll make an exception for sports where it's necessary to see who's on what team, but otherwise we don't mark ourselves in public. We think it's enough that we know who we are, we don't want to force ourselves on other people.

First set of letters--white sewn onto a light blue background. Most current set-- arrow-printed, wine letters on a pale blue background--I got the shirt from SororityStuff!

Of course we wear our letters, OnePlus! We're extremely proud to be Greek!

The first set of letters that we receive at Sigma Kappa (Cal State Long Beach), are the official house letters, a grey sweatshirt with white satin letters outlined with purple embrodiery and with CSULB embrodiered in purple underneath.

I have about 5 other sets of letters
- My pledge class letters- white hooded sweatshirt with bright pink on black letters

-black hooded sweatshirt with teal letters on silver

-grey hooded sweatshirt with pale pink letters on white, with "i'm a lil snakey k..." embrodiered underneath

-black sweatshirt with glittery purple star fabric on silver

-white sweatshirt with lavender letters on marroon.

It sure makes getting dressed everymorning easy!!!

Greek Love,
Lil Snakey K

I still occassionally wear my first letters - 15 years old as well -but still look OK.

I also have a favorite letters shirt - black shirt, then Purple Green and Gold LXA letters, topped with black letters...gives kind of a neon sign look to them...they are about 12 years old.

Both still worn with pride (though I do have to suck it in a bit for the first letters shirt!)

my first set of letters was a navy blue t-shirt with A XI D in gold.

of course we wear our letters! Every Tuesday at Elon is organization day and all the GLO's wear their respective letters!

I recieved my first set at my Big ceremony. They were my family letters. It's a navy sweatshirt with light blue letters on a gold background. Unfortunatley the store we get them made at does not carry the light blue fabric anymore so we have to change them! I'm sad about it since I'm really big on tradition.

My first letters were given to me by my heart sister. A heart sister is a temperary big. But once we got a big we had to give our letters back to our heart sister. I lucked out because my heart sister ended up being my big! ZLAM- UDZETA

My first letters were on a kelly green jersey with pink cuffs (DZ colors). The letters were pink to match the cuffs.

I still have that shirt, although I haven't worn it in years.

My first sweatshirt was old as the hills because it was a family line sweatshirt (purple sweatshirt with gold and purple letters). The first one that I got that I would wear was a navy sweatshirt with kelly green letters on white. I still have that sweatshirt, and it still fits

Our new member class got screen printed sweatshirts in hunter green and white, and they're the bomb. EVERYONE wants them.

I got ALL the old letters from my Big when I was initiated.. some that gad been passed down since 1985, and they were uuugglllllyyyyy. I passed those down to my little, and she'll pass them on to Liz (my new grandlittle! yay!). I still have my first VERY OWN set though, the ones my Big had made for me- navy blue long sleeve, white background and MC Escher-like cartoon fish letters. They're so worn adn soft, I love them.

Our family letters are a black sweatshirt, tie-dye background and black letters (*they look badass*). For my best friend's birthday, I ordered her a set just like them with DG letters (she's a DG at ST. Louis University). I can't wait till she gets them!

I am now addicted to orderin letters from designergreek.com; they are so fast and affordable! Most recently I got a black sweatshirt with white background and shimmery gold letters, and a white tshirt with black background and purple-pink-gold batik print letters.

We alwasy wear our letters on Tuesdays here too

I got my first sweater letters at initiation. I still have that 5 year old, faded forest green sweater with white LSPi letters on them. I added my fraternity nickname on the upper back with a small, clawing siberian tiger. Grrrrrrrrrrrowl

I still have my first shirt with letters on it. It's too little now, I guess I had a growth spurt

but it's gray with maroon and white letters on it. I was one of the first intiates of my chapter, so I didn't have a big sister. I bought all my first GSS stuff myself.

My first set of letters were given to me on the day I was initiated by my big sis, as we weren't allowed to wear letters, only Pi Phi spelled out, until we were initiated. My family tradition was to have letters that went down the right side of the sweatshirt vertically instead of the usual across the chest. They were on a light grey sweatshirt, and were tiny flowers outlined in green. I was so excited to FINALLY get to wear them.

My UGLIEST letters were ones that I bought myself when I was a junior -- white letters with navy polk-a-dots, with a navy background letter, on a forest green sweatshirt -- bad enough, but when I washed them the first time the background letter ran onto the white/polkadot letters, turning the white a horrible greenish/blue! They were awful. I passed them on to my grandlittle as a joke when I was a senior, and I hear that they are still being passed on 6 years later...at least they had longevity!

I get my first set of letters on Saturday at our chapter induction! Nationals is getting us all sweatshirts, and I can't wait to wear it!

I just picked up my first set of letters and I can't wait for the sun to go down so I can wear them (it's kinda hot right now). My big bro is studying abroad right now, so I didn't get letters at initiation. I ordered them 2 weeks ago and had to wait extra long because they ran out of the print I wanted. Anyway, I'm stoked!!

Interesting...I don't think I have ever seen a phi psi here wear their letters.
