Fraternity and Sorority Shirts

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Fraternities and sororities are often regarded as vital institutions in most colleges and universities. Most of these organizations are national and international in scope and have individual chapters in each school or college. They are organizations committed to the same ideals and philosophies that have been followed by generations. They not only provide a sense of camaraderie for the members but they also strive to contribute to the school and community. Aside from this, fraternities and sororities provide the life of any college party.

Members are always very proud of their greek membership and try to show it through their apparel. Sorority T-shirts are very popular with the female members. They show their affiliation and the sorority colors. They are mostly used in special occasions but most sorority T-shirts are made to be used on a daily basis. They are flexible items that can be rendered in any color and in any size. Most sororities usually license a manufacturer to make the T-shirts for all the chapter sororities across the country.

Fraternity T-shirts are made the same way. They are very basic in design and usually come in just one or two colors. However, some fraternities design special fraternity t-shirts for occasions like anniversaries or general assemblies. Letterings can be printed onto the shirt but some manufacturers offer the sorority’s or fraternity’s Greek letters to be sewn into the shirt, making it more longer lasting and durable.

Fraternity and sorority T-shirts are also great ways to give to members during special occasions or activities that the organization has actively participated. It also serves as great advertisement for the fraternity and sorority. These shirts, popularly known as Greek shirts, are an essential part of college life. One in every ten college kid has one.

HELP!!! PLEASE! Inside my nose piercing a swollen bud-like appeared 1week after having it-not red,not painful?

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I had it pierced with a ear gun it doesnt hurt at all but the backing keeps coming off because it’s swollen on one side of the piercing. How long will this take to go away? Is this norma?

Never ever ever get pierced with a gun! Especially something like your nose! Whoever did that was very very wrong. Guns are high impact and force the skin apart while, at the same time, forcing a foreign object into a place where there’s no room for it. These can be damaging in the earlobes, let alone anywhere else.

With that said, go to a piercer and see what they can do. You probably either have an infection or a minor blow out, or another type of problem. Find a piercer and call them immediately and go have them help you. DO NOT take out your piercing because if it is infected then your skin could close up and trap the infection.

In the meantime, clean your piercing with a salt soak. You have to use sea salt because it contains no iodine. DO NOT use table salt. You mix sea salt into a cup of warm water (i’ve heard 1/4 cup of salt per 8 oz of water, i use a small cup so i generally just cover the bottom of the cup in salt and fill the rest with water) and soak your piercing for 1-2 minutes. Do this no more than twice a day. Also make sure you’re cleaning your piercing NO MORE than twice a day!! (If you over clean it you could dry it out or kill the good bacteria that is there to heal). You can use Bactine (it’s anticeptic for wounds) or Dial soap.

NEVER use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on a piercing. This could dry out your piercing and kill the good bacteria.

Again, go see a piercer to get their help/advice/diagnosis of your problem, and stay away from the gun!

…………

That is why we do not pierce with guns! You have the bump, AKA Hypertonic Scaring. Go to a piercing place and have them put a nostril screw in. Do sea salt soaks.
