We’ll be updating our graduation photo gallery throughout the next few weeks, but we thought we’d show you just a few of the awesome graduation stoles we’ve been working on so far this season.
If you have not already, you should order your graduation stoles soon! We are currently running a sale: 10% off orders of 6 or more graduation sashes.
Last year, we unofficially offered lavender as one of our colors for graduation stoles. While not listed on the web site, we had a lot of email requests from customers for the color. This year, we’ve decided to make it official and list it on the web site!
So now, yes. Lavender graduation stoles and sashes are available through our online ordering system. The color applies to embroidery as well!
We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and/or your winter break! While it’s a little slow around this time of the year for us, we’ve taken the time and opportunity to do some background work and gear up for a busy January and 2009 graduation season by adding new fabric choices, cuts, and embroidery options on all graduation stoles and sashes. We’re also restructuring some of our workflow to add increased quality control and to lower turn around times. We look forward to being a premier online vendor of custom graduation stoles and offering one of the fastest turnaround times.
We were recently forwarded an article from the Los Angeles Times about Student Loans and the unfortunate story of a student who is currently battling a $140,000 loan with an 18% interest rate. Please take a read and forward it to your friends. The more students who are aware of the dangers of private loans, the better. In this down economy, it’s even more important to educate students about the dangers of student loans to avoid post-graduation life in extreme debt.
We hope you have a safe New Years Eve. If you choose to party, please party safe and do not drink and drive. Here’s to an even more prosperious 2009.
From our family to yours,

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.
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.
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)!

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!

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.
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.
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.
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!
#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.
We didn’t mention it before, but we just launched a new sale on YourSash.com. If you order 6 or more graduation stoles or sashes, receive 10% off your entire order! You can customize your stoles with what you want embroidered (your school, Greek letters, etc.) the color you want, trim you want, and just about anything else!
This is a limited time offer, so act soon!
limitations: Sale does not apply to orders with custom fabrics or digitized logos.
In the mean time, we know you have been waiting for us to post this video… with out further ado, Vitamin C - Graduation Song
