Long Portraits

PhotoJojo recently featured a really interesting article about Long Portraits.
The idea behind these is to ask someone a simple question, like How was your day? or what’s the most exciting thing you did this week? etc. From that, record their 30-second response.

What a simple yet unique task! Now put the entire graduation or Greek spin to it and think about how your house historian can do this. Imagine how awesome this archive would be, in say 3 years… with every member of your house and it continually growing! Think down the road… 5 years from now, how even more awesome it would be!

We all know Greeks love pictures (and matching shirts…) but video adds such a unique new spin to your chapter’s records and an interesting way to get to know actives and alumni.

Fraternity & Sorority Long Portrait Challenge


The best thing Jacqueline saw this week from Photojojo on Vimeo.

So our challenge to any chapters is to do a recording of all the seniors on your active roster, just a fun 30-second clip. Do this, post it on YouTube, send us the links, and we’ll give 5 lucky chapters 25% off their order for graduation stoles.

Official Rules:

  • There must be at least 6 seniors graduating from your chapter and long portraits recorded of those 6 seniors. 25% off discount will be applied to the same # of long portraits as graduation sashes ordered.
  • Videos of seniors must be separate similar to PhotoJojo’s Long Portrait style video.
  • Nothing scandalous, please!
  • At least 2 seniors have to mention YourSash.com!

Entries should be emailed to orders[at]yoursash.com with links to the videos and contact information!

The first 5 chapters who submit videos that meet these criteria will receive 25% off their standard sash order (no logos or custom fabrics)!

Top 10 Inspirational Fraternity & Sorority Mottos

sayings in a book
Every house has a different motto that they live by. For some, individual chapters even have their own specific sayings. These mottos make a huge impact on Greeks during their active years and often carry into their lives far beyond college. While many sayings are kept secret from the outside word, of those we found on the good ol’ Wikipedia, we’d like to share with you the 10 Greek mottos we found to be most unique and inspiring.

Without further ado, and in no particular order, our favorite 10 are:

Pi Lambda Phi — Not four years, but a lifetime
Iota Phi Theta
& Iota Phi Theta — Building a Tradition, Not Resting Upon One
Sigma Lambda Gamma — Culture is Pride, Pride is Success
Alpha Sigma Alpha — Aspire, Seek, Attain
Alpha Kappa Alpha — By Culture and By Merit
Beta Chi Theta — Above All Else, Brotherhood
Gamma Omega Delta — Building our Future by Reclaiming our Past
Epsilon Sigma Phi — What we want most to be, we are.
Sigma Kappa Tau — Individually Unique, Together Complete
Delta Lambda Chi — Reach for the stars, but remain down to earth.
