How To Customize Your Fraternity Apparel
It is easy to spot greek letter shirts, greek sweatshirts
, greek jackets, and greek bags at any major university. Fraternity apparel is by far the most common object a fraternity member will use to show their involvement and commitment towards a greek organization. With such an abundance of lettered greek apparel, how is one to make their fraternity clothing more unique? The answer lies in the customization of that greek t-shirt, greek sweatshirt, greek jacket, or greek 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 can be used to customize any type of fraternity apparel, resulting in a more distinct piece of greek apparel.
Take for example, Pi Kappa Alpha, a men"s fraternity founded in 1868 at University of Virginia. Their vision statement: To set the standard of integrity, intellect, and achievement for our members, host institutions, and the communities in which we live.. Their colors: Garnet and Old Gold. Their flower: Lily of the Valley. Their symbol: The Oak Tree, Shield & Diamond, White Horse. Their Jewel: The Diamond. Adding one or more of these emblems to Pi Kappa Alpha t-shirt, greek sweatshirt, greek jacket, or greek bag, will result in a more meaningful and interesting piece of greek apparel.
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 and little, which is used when a new member is initiated into the fraternity. Other phrases that make 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 apparel, try adding an embroidered message or design, to create a truly customized look!
