Sorority Girl Time: KD Sorority-Creating Sister Bonds

Sorority Girl Time: KD Sorority/Creating sister bonds, originally uploaded by JamiSierra.pr.

Big sisters and little sisters are always there for each other. I love this picture because of the Kappa Delta letters in the background and the green shirts show clearly that this is a picture of sorority sisters.

Send in you pictures of sorority sisters with Greek letters displayed somewhere in the picture and I will consider featuring your photo in a blog post.

Show forth the variety, enthusiasm, love, and friendship of sorority sisters in your Greek sorority. Send pictures to sororitygiftideas (AT) gmail (DOT) com.

Sew Greek Letters on Bag for Unique Sorority Gift

This Delta Zeta bag was made by simply adding the Delta Zeta letters to a premade bag. The letters are cut out of hot pink fabric with a layer of Stitch Witchery cut out at the same time to back the letters. Stitch Witchery is not the only brand name of fusible bonding material that you can buy at any fabric store. It is fairly inexpensive and is perfect for appliqueing letters on fabric.

To set the fabric letters (with bonding underneath), lay a sheet of paper over the letters, and then iron the letters firmly with the iron set on WOOL. The paper is to protect the iron from the bonding if any of it hangs out from behind the letters.

Gently remove the paper from the letters after ironing them on.

Now I am ready to sew. I set my machine for ZigZag and short stitches and sew around each letters with matching or complementary thread. On this Delta Zeta bag, I used matching thread, but I like to use black thread sometime to make the applique really stand out.

Have any of you appliqued Greek letters on a tote bag or some other item?

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.
