It is easy to spot Greek letter shirts, Greek letter sweatshirts, Greek jackets, and Greek tote bags at any major university. Greek apparel is by far the most common object a member of a fraternity or sorority will use to show their involvement and commitment towards a fraternal organization. With such an abundance of lettered Greek apparel, how is one to make their clothing more unique? The answer lies in the customization of that sorority t-shirt, fraternity t-shirt, sorority sweatshirt, fraternity sweatshirt, Greek jacket, or Greek tote bag.
Each fraternal organization has a number of distinctive emblems which can include a set of colors, a flag, a symbol, a mascot, a crest or seal, a badge, a flower, and/or an open motto. These emblems are used to express the unique ideals of each fraternity and sorority and can be used to customize any type of fraternity clothing or sorority clothing, resulting in a more distinct piece of Greek apparel.
Take for example, Pi Beta Phi, a women's fraternity founded in 1867 at Monmouth College. Their vision/motto: Friends and Leaders For Life. Their colors: Wine Silver Blue. Their flower: The Wine Carnation. Their mascot: The Angel. Their Symbol: The Arrow. Adding one or more of these emblems to a Pi Beta Phi t-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, or bag, will result in a more meaningful and interesting piece of Greek clothing.
The most common locations to add an emblem on a piece of Greek apparel include the bicep, tip of hood, left chest, back, shoulder, and wrist. Embroidery (direct stitching of thread) offers the classiest look and is especially good for smaller emblems like the Greek crest, Greek flower, or Greek mascot. Embroidery is also ideal for the organization's motto or message and looks exceptional when sewn below the large 4" Greek letters or the back bottom of the apparel.
In addition to emblems, simple wording that relates to the Greek chapter can make Greek apparel more custom. A very popular personalization includes the words big or little. Other phrases that make sorority clothing and fraternity clothing custom include the family name, the class name, the season and year of initiation, the university name, and the member's nickname.
There are endless possibilities when using emblems and/or wording of a Greek organization to personalize a piece of Greek apparel. They absolutely make the clothing more unique, memorable, and custom. Next time you're in the market for a piece of fraternity clothing or sorority clothing, try adding an embroidered message or design, to create a truly customized look!
