Sorority Quotes for Sorority Sisters

"Sisterhood is the essence of all the wisdom of the ages, distilled into a single word. You cannot see sisterhood, neither can you hear it nor taste it. But you can feel it a hundred times a day. It is a pat on the back, a smile of encouragement. It's someone to share with, to celebrate your achievements." ~ Anonymous


"Individually unique. Together complete." ~ Unknown

"A sister is a special friend you grow up with and never outgrow."

"There is no chance or choice when pledging, only strength and survival. Let your sisters give you the strength to survive" ~ Anonymous


"Sororities symbolize all that we wish to accomplish in our lives. They represent the struggles we all face as we grow. Why we cling to them no one can explain, but in the end, we are all stronger for it." ~ Unknown


"The group of people you associate with says a lot about your character. In my opinion, we're on the right track." ~ Unknown

We're not sisters by birth, but we knew from the start;
God put us together to be sisters by heart."


"We are sisters. We will always be sisters. Our differences may never go away, but neither, for me, will our song." ~ Elizabeth Fishel


"You should never look down upon a sister except to pick her up." ~ Unknown


"There's a special kind of freedom sisters enjoy.
Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves." ~ Anonymous


"To have a loving relationship with a sister is not simply to have a buddy or a confidante -- it is to have a soul mate for life." ~ Victoria Secunda


"What's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it?" ~ Jenny DeVries


"When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?" ~ Pam Brown

Paint Your Sorority Bag

Here is an idea for a cute sorority gift that is relatively inexpensive. I bought this canvas bag at Hobby Lobby for half off. Hobby Lobby regularly has their canvas items for 1/2 price sales.

I pencil traced my turtle pattern and the letters for Delta Zeta on the canvas purse. Then I painted the turtle pink and green with acrylic paint and the "DZ" letters green. After the turtle and the letters were dry, I heat-pressed the design with an iron set on medium.

Be sure to cover the design with a piece of paper before applying heat. Heat it with the iron for about 10 seconds moving the iron over the paper. The heat will set the design so it does not wash out ( in this case, you probably won't be washing the bag, but setting the painted design with heat is something that I do by habit)

Lastly, I tied a pink ribbon around the handle of the sorority bag for a nice accent.

Sigma Kappa Sorority Paddle

Sorority Paddle, originally uploaded by Rachel René.

Sorority Paddles are still around though some frown upon them. Since they are for decorative and gift purposes only, I don't see why any should object.

Anyway, isn't this a beautifully decorated ? The sorority sister that made this, designed it around the theme, "Painting the Roses Red" Since Sigma Kappa's symbols are hearts and doves along with maroon and lavender as its colors, the design features all came together in the theme based paddle. She commented, "The paddle was very hard to take pictures of as I coated it in glitter and it was late afternoon but I think this picture turned out alright. :)"

I love the paintbrush full of red paint.....what a great touch? The 3D dove and rose at the top really set it all off.

Thanks to Rachel Rene for her Flickr picture of this Sigma Kappa paddle.

Sorority Mascot Cutouts-Delta Gamma Anchor

Delta Gamma Anchor


I have found the cutouts pictured here in an eBay shop called the Texas Art Craft Store. They have a wide selection of wooden cutouts. Type your mascot in the store search box to locate the cut outs you need.

There are also wooden cutouts available at craft stores like Hobby Lobby and Michaels, however, the selection is limited. The craft stores usually offers turtles, frogs, ladybugs, lions, butterflies, and some of the other mascots. The neat thing about these cutouts is they are prepainted and they are really cute. If you haven't seen them yet, see if you can find them the next time you are in a large craft store like the ones mentioned above.

Use acrylic paints and a quality art paint brush to color the wooden cutouts. Then you can use them for any number of gift ideas!....


Phi Mu Lion or Alpha Delta Pi Lion

Paint a bunch of your wooden mascots to make gift tags that will be treasured and saved. They also make very special Christmas ornaments to represent your sorority. It is easy to glue both ends of a loop of ribbon to the cutout to make a pretty way to hand it up.


Alpha Epsilon Phi Giraffes

Glue your handpainted mascot cutout on the front of a scrapbook to make a custom designed scrapbook. You can also decorate a journal or any notebook to make it represent your sorority.


Delta Delta Delta Dolphins


Chi Omega Owl
