Fraternity & Sorority Long Portraits - Contest Open!

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)!

Mixing It Up A Little… Facebook Blog Theme

We decided to mix it up a little and go with a new theme for our The Super Senior Blog.
Does it look familiar? Because it’s designed after facebook.

Hope you like!

Reminder for all seniors graduating in April or May, you want to put in your order ASAP to avoid rush charges and to make sure that your graduation stoles come in on time!

5 Best Graduation Falls We Stole from YouTube

So depending on how your school does it, most graduates have their name called out and then walk across stage, shake hands with the Chancellor and other dignitaries, get the photo op, then return to their seat.

After hours and hours of scouring YouTube for some videos, we have compiled our list of top 5 graduation falls and tips on how to walk across stage on your important day.

First Off, the Tips for Graduation Day & How To Stand Apart

1. The Name Card

If your school let’s you, do something fun on your graduation card! We got to fill in our name, add a message to your parents if possible! Sometimes the readers will read it, sometimes they won’t.
ex. Your Name is John David. On your card write “John ‘Hi Mom’ David” if the reader has a personality and they are allowed to read this, go for it! Write too much and they’ll skip it entirely. On mine I wrote “Happy Fathers Day” and they didn’t read it! How lame.

2. Decorate Your Graduation Cap

We’ll have a post on this coming up soon, but decorate your graduation cap! Do something cool but not tacky. Decorate the same as your sorority sisters or fraternity brothers and you’ll get bonus points.

3. Don’t Drink Too Much The Night Before!

If you’re going to go downtown and celebrate with your fellow graduates the night before, all the power to you! But remember, everything in moderation. Last thing you want to do is wake up late to your graduation, hung over, parents see that, and have to sit in the sun at commencement for 2 hours. Moderation!

Now to the graduation videos…

#5. Fake Graduation Prank? This one looked a little fishy to us.


#4. This one has to be fake. Another fake graduation fall?

Alright… to the better ones.

#3. Unfortunately we can’t see the angle on this one as much, but at least it’s not a fake!

#2. Okay, we have to feel sorry for this lil kid. He was so happy… too happy! Luckily for him his parents have this on tape and when he graduates college he can look back and laugh… or try to beat his first attempt.

#1. Of all the graduation falls we stole from YouTube, this one looks the most real.

So if you are ready to graduate fall in style, check out our graduation stoles.
