As part of the Greek community, whether you’re in a fraternity or sorority, there are key moments in college that shape the course of your life. Most people would tell you that crossing over into their fraternity or sorority is their single most memorable moment of their college career. That’s tough to argue against considering the time and effort you put into reaching that point where you are finally part of an everlasting friendship.
But what about graduation? Crossing over into a fraternity or sorority does is significant in the sense that you are networking for the present and the future. Your name is forever intertwined with that of your respective fraternity or sorority. You make lasting friendships that go beyond the limits of your college career. But graduation sees the bigger picture. Getting an education is why we are in college in the first place. When you were in high school, you loathed the fact that there was another four to five years of school. When you graduate from college, you see the light at the tunnel, knowing that you are forever done with school, unless you decided to pursue a greater degree.
College graduation is definitely a top five moment for anyone. Just think about it. That college degree you receive on graduation day is key to you landing a job that offers competitive salaries. Graduation is like crossing over again, except you are crossing over into a new chapter in your life as opposed to crossing over into a fraternity or sorority.
That is why when your big bro or big sis graduates, you and everyone else who loves them will embrace him or her with every ounce of love you have to offer. For most sororities, it is tradition to get your bigs a sorority sash or stole with your letters on it. A sash and a stole is essentially the same thing. Sashes accessorize the basic cap and gown, and identify the individual with their respective fraternity or sorority, or their achievements. The little bro or little sis gets their bigs a stole as a token of their appreciation for all that they’ve done for them throughout the years. As with most other Greek apparel nowadays, graduation sashes and stoles can also be personalized with different colors, fonts, etc.
Case in point, fraternity sashes and stoles is the perfect graduation gift for your big bro or big sis. Not only are you helping them stand out from the rest of the graduating class, you are telling them that their big day is just as important to you as it is to them. Seeing how graduation is one of the biggest days of their lives, why not make it a memorable one?

Crossing over into a sorority is a defining moment in your life. Ask any sister of any sorority. One may tell you that you have joined the “best sorority ever,” or she may tell you that this is a “sisterhood like no other.” Of course, these are all subjective, but ask any one of them, and you can rest assured that they are proud to be in their respective sorority. When you gander through the records of your sorority, you will see your name forever etched into the books of its history. Your name becomes synonymous with that of your sorority, and this everlasting bond will stand the test of time.
That is why every member of your sorority is proud to wear a sorority t-shirt with your letters across your chest. The letters on your t-shirt tell people what sorority you belong to, but more importantly, the letters on your t-shirt symbolize all the time and effort you put into a sisterhood you love and believe in. When you look down at those letters on your chest, you are reminded of all that you did to become part of the sorority, and all your sisters that share this bond with you.
Sorority t-shirts and the way you represent your sorority has evolved over time. Whereas girls used to wear t-shirts and hoodies with the standard letters of your sorority across the chest, girls are now becoming more creative with designs and colors that give their greek apparel a more unique look. Sorority letters are no longer limited to the standard placement on the frontside of t-shirts, but there are customized designs that run vertically down the side of the shirts or somewhere on the back. No longer limited to standardized sorority shirts with the standard sorority colors, girls are now accessorizing their closet with apparel of all types and colors. Tanks, t-shirts, sweats, hoodies… anything is possible.
Feel free to email us your designs and ideas if there is something you would like to see in addition to our vast collection of sorority shirt designs. Our email is greek.life@greeku.com.

Joining a sorority can be a difficult process, so to help you through it, most organizations assign a big sister. Usually the big sister acts as a mentor to help the new prospective member (aka the lil sis) get acclimated. The most exciting part of getting a big sister is when she buys you lil sis gifts, especially when it is bundled with many goodies. A lot of sororities can save money if they buy in bulk. That is why GreekU.com offers large group discounts when members order together. You can build your own “baskets” or choose from pre-selected sorority bundles.
We want to hear about your experiences as a big sister or a little sister. Please email greek.life@greeku.com and tell us about it. If we think our members will benefit from your story, we will post it on our blog.
