Great Greek Items

[als463]

My cousin (who is a member of an NPC) is graduating this Spring. I was looking around at some cute ideas of something to buy her and I have come across some great websites. Here are some great gifts for graduates or even for the active collegiate/ alumna.

Pillows with Greek Letters and crests. This website I came across accidentally but, liked the idea that for every purchase you make, $5.00 gets donated to a charity of your choice.

I've already graduated but, LOVE the fact I bought this to preserve my certificate! You can now get certificate frames to hang near your diplomas in your office (think the Brag wall) or in your home. You can get for both sororities or fraternities.

For those of you that love your crest (sororities) you may want to buy a necklace:

or a key chain:

You can get a crest blanket:

Beauty products are nice too...just look at the lip gloss or roll-on perfume for sorority girls:

I really like all these ideas-I'm always looking for cute greek items and thought I would share.

For those of you getting married...you can always get a garter with your sorority letters/ name on it (note-they have it for all organizations):

If you're one for Gucci, Louis V., or other fabric swatches...go here for some cute letter patterns with just those brands:

You can even get a (insert sorority here) Mom mug:

Even Build-a-Bear will allow you to have your letters embroidered....For AOPis, there is a Panda Bear-DPhiEs get a Unicorn, Delta Zetas get a turtle...while they also have a tri-ceratops, hippo, groundhog, etc. It's a cute idea:

Hand Painted Items to include door hangers and wall hangers:

Personalized Luggage or Name tags are available:

I have to say I am def. a fan of this site because for those of us who may have graduated-I think it's nice to be able to step away from the bright (collegiate) colors and get home decor such as the Sorority (or fraternity) iron house hanger, keepsake candle holder or even the metal key holder. It's nice to see you can even get a graduation stole.....and even a greek letter box with your letters on it!!!!

Ugh. That's the biggest thing that bothers me. I am apart of two organizations. One with 103 years of history and the other just turned 92 yesterday. And, they never offer any of that merchandise for us.

I know we don't do the huge bid day celebrations like the NPCs, but I'm sure girls would buy that if they would make it for us.

AlwaysSAI...I'm sure if you request-some of these vendors would be more than happy to make items for your GLO...In fact, I think that all NATIONAL orgs. should have stuff made for them....It would be easy to start making Alpha Phi Omega, Gamma Sigma Sigma, Omega Phi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Iota, Phi Mu Alpha, etc. stuff...they need to also include the NPHC and multi-cutural GLOs, as well....Even if you are not National-I'm sure if you and some of your brothers/ sisters get together-you could request a bulk order....that would probably work....Good Luck!
