I don't really like purple enough to do a whole sorority color scheme. I think pinning my badge somewhere inside my dress (as some of my sisters have done) would be my little "nod" to my GLO.

This was a long time ago (1976), but my cousin had her badge incorporated into her bouquet. Not the one that she threw, but the one she carried down the aisle. The bouquets were Red and Yellow roses, with ferns, so we had Alpha Gamma Delta as part of the ceremony.

She didn't wear Red, Buff and Green, but had a little ceremony with her sisters during the reception. I was 14 at the time, and didn't realize I was a Alpha Gam-in training at the time. I really wish I could go back and relive the ceremony. If I find pictures, I'll post them.

a soror of mine has dedicated her basement to Sigma. there are curios filled with collectables, pictures with past presidents and such, and all sorts of SGRho craftwork. and when i visited one time and had to stay the night, she has poodle pj's for her guests!

Jess, your bouquet sounds gorgeous! I'd love to see a picture sometime. I also wore my badge on my wedding dress, used roses (pink, not red, but roses nonetheless!) and was serenaded by my sisters with the Loving Cup.

I have a signet ring with our letters that I wear daily. Slowly but surely my office area is being overrun with AOII items, not just files and manuals either! I'm not complaining because anything will be an improvement on the mishmash in here now!

My wedding is going to be purple and silver (maybe creme, depending on what time of year) but chances are I'll have some yellow roses in my bouquet. If the Mr. is in a fraternity and it's not one that has purple, his flower will be in my bouquet is well.

I have found that I unconsciously include Chi Omega--for example, my living room has yellow walls and red furniture. Did I plan that I was going to decorate in cardinal and straw? No, but it happened anyway! I also have my owl collection in my home office/spare room as well as photos, and I have other items scattered around the other rooms in my home. At school, I have a copy of our Symphony hanging in my office as well as a Chi Omega candy jar. I also have some Chi-O and NPC buttons on my corkboard (I'm a guidance counselor, so it seems fitting that I should discuss that part of college life as well, right?).
