For a Delta Zeta, this set of Cross Stitch patterns is a real find. Published in 1989, this Sorority Delta Zeta cross stitch pattern set is not likely to turn up for sale very often. There are 4 pages in the pattern set and I think all the designs are pictures here in the image. There may be more DZ designs on the back side of the booklet. You could message the seller to find out.
Anyway, I think the designs are quite beautiful, and for a DZ sister that enjoys hand work and making sorority gifts, this would be a great help for making unique Delta Zeta Christmas gifts. Just having these patterns available would enable you to cross stitch a small gift for any sorority occasion. I only wish it were always available.
If you know where sorority cross stitch patterns can be purchased elsewhere, please leave a comment to help other sorority sisters who are looking for creative ideas like this.

Making a sorority scrapbook is a great way to document a memorable year with pages full of sorority event photos and clippings. Making your own Greek Letters and Sigma Delta Tau embellishments from paper makes your scrapbook even better with your own blend of artistic design making an entirely personal one-of-a-kind book of memories.
To save time, it is nice to have some sorority scrapbook stickers available. It is often hard to find sorority stickers and other sorority scrapbook embellishments, so when I come across them, I try post them here at Sorority Sisters.
Unfortunately, the scrapbook items noted here may be sold and no longer available eventually, but as of today, this Sigma Delta Tau sticker set is available and there are more than one set for sale.
If the Sorority Scrapbook Stickers Sigma Delta Tau are still available on eBay, there will be a link below this post.
All the little sister sorority gifts that you give are what expresses the sisterhood of your sorority. Sometimes, a handmade sorority gift expresses your affection better than a Greek gift that you buy like from Greek Gear.
If you like to paint with acrylic paints, there are so many gifts that you can make that take only a little bit of your time. I love to just browse in crafts stores or online and I always see so many ideas that can be adapted to make a great sorority gift.
This foam coozie is an example of a craft item that is almost always available in craft stores. Just look for your sorority colors. Images for an owl or whatever your mascot might be, can be obtained through Google images or Etsy.com by searching for "owl" or whatever your sorority mascot. You can copy to image and print it...then adapt it for your project. When I paint on a foam coosie like this one, I use transfer graphite paper to trace the design onto the coosie. This works to transfer a design onto most any surface that you want to paint on.
After the basic pattern is on the coosie, you just paint between the lines. I use a black sharpie to add details like the owl's feet and feathers.

Sigma Gamma Rho has a white poodle mascot, but I couldn't resist using what was at hand. In this case it was a big pink poodle and a little pink poodle. The pair just reminds me of sorority sisters or Sorors. At least I had gold and blue available to make the necklace in the right colors!
You can make a personalized sorority mascot like this. It is easy with the plush animal that represents your sorority and adding a sorority mascot necklace that personalizes your little mascot like this.
Here is an easy way to make a stuffed poodle into a very special symbol of your sorority, in this case, Sigma Gamma Rho.

I just dropped by our local craft store and found supplies that let me make a few unique sorority gifts fast. These are for Delta Zeta and since turtles are pretty easy to draw and paint, I was able to turn these sorority gifts out very quickly.
First, I bought a foam coosie for 50 cents or a dollar (I can't remember which). First I drew the turtle design on paper. From that point, I have several choices: (1) Draw the turtle free hand on the coosie, (2)cut out the turtle from the paper and trace around it with a pencil, or (3)use a sheet of graphite paper behind the paper pattern to transfer the design to the coosie - this is easy and gives you the most detail, but you need to have graphite paper. I usually use the graphite paper way.
After I have my turtle design, I add color with paint. Using my acrylic paints - olive green, white, and black, I painted my little turtle. The easiest way to add the BLACK detail is with a Sharpie pen. That is what I used for the turtle outline, turtle eyeballs, and the "Delta Zeta" at the top of the coosie.
The acrylic paints dry so fast that I was finished in no time. Actually, I painted the foam star stickers at the same time, while I had my paints out and brushes already in the paint. The foam stars (foam comes in so many shapes and colors) have a peel off backing that can be removed when you are ready to sticky the star onto something. The tiny turtles were painted "free hand" and have very little detail since they are so small. Again, I used my fine Sharpie to write "Delta Zeta" in an arc over the turtle. Now that is done, too.
My last handmade sorority gift is actually a hand painted wooden box. You have seen these in the craft stores. They are round and come in graduated sizes. Sometimes they are sold in sets of 3 different sizes that nest inside of each other. I was able to buy a single box. I painted the top with olive green acrylic paint. After that was completely dry, I used the pattern method mentioned above for the coosie to get my turtle design on the box. Instead of PAINTING the turtle's shell, I cut the pattern out of pink and white striped fabric. I glued the fabric onto the box with Tacky glue, being careful to put it on just the write place.
Many of you have commented on the Greek letter shaped pillows that I posted about previously. I have been trying to find more information about them and now I can tell you.
They had been offered on eBay for a while and then I could not find them again. After searching over a period of time, I finally connected to the lady that makes these pillows by order and discovered that she has an eBay shop, is a top rated seller, and is willing to make custom ordered Greek pillows like these if you would like to order one.
Her name is Cindy and this is her story:
My daughter, Stefanie is a Phi Mu and graduated from the University of Oklahoma at Norman in 2005. When she went in 2000, we started doing the pillows as gifts to her sorority sisters, for Big/Little, Graduation, etc. Everyone loved them and soon we were making them for friends of hers and for her sisters that were in other sororities too.
We have an Ebay store that we started about 4 1/2 years ago. We introduced various sorority themed gift items and they were a hit including the pillows and beaded bracelets, necklaces, ornaments, tote bags to name just a few things.
We can do most any Greek Letter or Initial Pillow set. We maintain a large amount of different colors and patterns of fabrics with ribbons, buttons & Bling! embellishments for the pillows.
We also do beaded bracelets & necklaces with sorority letters or sorority mascot charms. We do sorority marker boards. Close to Christmas, we do sorority themed ornaments.
We do sorority name tote bags. We do Sorority themed free standing Spirit Signs or magnetic ones. We do custom order Zebra Print Frames. The frames are clear acrylic and we do a Zebra Print matted border insert for the frames. We can make the Zebra Animal Print border with any sorority name, words like Big Sis, Little Sis, Sisters Forever, etc. or a person's name. These are cute items that are always appreciated as gifts. Smiles, Cindi
Stefi's Corner Stones & Gifts Shoppe -
The shop does not always have the pillows listed, but you can contact Cindi through the eBay messages and ask for one to be made for your Greek letters.
