Graduation Stoles

Little E · #1 03-10-2004, 05:09 PM

We do graduation stoles for the seniors each year (well they seniors are in charge of making it happen). The person who used to do them didn't do a great job last year. and I was just wondering how much ya'll pay to get them done, and if you just use a local seamstress (the route i think we'll probably take) Thanks for any input!

Tom, she means these things that go over graduation robes
link to a search engine page with several examples
and embroidered/printed etc with her GLOs letters. Much like some organisation's members wear a colored sash ('belt') matched to their GLOs colors when they graduate.

DEC, did not think that a was allowed? Just thought what the school allowed and the Colleges allowed for Their Schools of U! Well Degrees to speak!

Our College is pretty cool, doesn't control what we wear, other than the gown and hat (though the hat can be modified) so we go all out. I think they are more common with NPHC but not totally sure. Still, any input would be great

My local sorority wears stoles at graduation.

Many LGLOs use these stoles. The first year we used them on our campus, everyone noticed and the next year, ALL the greeks started wearing them!

Every chapter in my sorority has stolls for all the graduating seniors when they graduate. We use a local seamstress that makes ours out of white material (I call it wedding dress material) with our letters (GAO) in green with a blue outline. We also have the option to wear the stoll as is or to customize it with our class (Beta for me) year (04) and our name/nickname and our sorority crest if we want to or our family tree can customize it they way they want to. The other way to go is to go online to Greek Nation.com and buy their stolls. Thats what alot of the LGLOS and BGLOS do. I personally don't like the ones they sell, they look like a Mexican blanket and that's not real pretty to wear. Last semester I bought one for my chapter and then I had to buy two more for our Epsilon chapter in Wisconsin and our seamstress has done such a wonderful job on them that Epsilon is now going to try and get our MU and Theta chapters to buy them from her.

I can't wait to recieve MINE! Other then earning my letters recieving my stoll is going to be a VERY emotional moment.

Yes, it is an emotional moment when you are presented with your stole. Ours are presented each spring at our National Convention to all graduating seniors and also sisters who earn advanced degrees (but theirs look different), and they you save it to wear later on your graduation day. I'm not really sure where we get ours. We used to have a lady that made them. I was smiling so big when I received mine and I remember I had tears in my eyes. It was really a proud moment.

One of the girls from DG actually had one at our graduation. I am not sure where she got her's... but I know what you are talking about. Have you tried google.com?

I know Pi Phi uses RC Sportswear for clothing and they make graduation stoles.
Does your HQ do them?

Try the different GLO merchandise websites I'm sure one of them might do graduation stoles.

Here are a few links to online merchants

All the BGLOs at my college wear them, and the Chi-Os do as well. I want to either start making them for us or order them from somewhere.

MysticCat · #14 03-17-2004, 01:07 PM

I've probably seen more GLO graduates wear cords (about the same length as stoles, but braided in the GLO's colors and with tassles on the ends) than I have seen them wear stoles. Cords for at least some groups can be found here.

Purely personal preference, but I like the cords better.

You can get them from Fratrow.com too

I know its in the individual site...don't know about the group order side. I just looked at them yesterday, cause i didn't know what they were.
