Graduation is a huge milestone in any sorority sister's life, and when you walk across the stage to accept your diploma, you'll want to make a statement. While many sisters opt for a standard stole to represent their sorority while they accept their diploma, you can take your graduation look one step farther by customizing your stole. Not sure where to start? Greek Gear has you covered with some fantastic sorority stole ideas and inspiration.

Get Crafty

If your sorority is supplying seniors with stoles, you can still customize your graduation sash with a little arts and crafts project. Gather your sisters, grab some glitter and go to town giving your stole a more personal touch. Not only will your DIY fashion attempts help you stand out on graduation day, it's also a great bonding activity to do with your sisters.

Use any blank space on your stole to add something special about your Greek house, chapter or graduating class. Fabric markers, patches, glitter and iron-on letters are all great tools for customizing your stole. When you're done, you'll have a keepsake you'll cherish for years.

If you want to start from scratch, buy one of our blank graduation stoles in your choice of 18 colors.

Champion a Cause

Do you have a social cause that's near and dear to your heart? Make it known on graduation day by customizing your stole to represent something you're passionate about. Whether it's women's rights, climate change or clean water, you can use your stole to make your position known. Come up with some clever wording and then share it with your entire graduating class.

Pro tip: You may need to avoid politics, religion and certain topics to ensure you can wear your stole during graduation. Check the rules and regulations of your graduation ceremony first.

Buy Some Buttons

Buttons are affordable, easy to use and sure to make a statement. You probably have tons of buttons from your time in the sisterhood and your stole offers the perfect display space for them all. Attach buttons carefully around the perimeter of the stole and wear them with pride, remembering special events, fundraisers, your pledge class and much more. Each button has a special meaning, and adding them to your graduation stole is a great way to honor your time in the sorority.

Choose a Custom Design
