These adornments are pieces of jewelry affiliated with a specific Greek-letter sorority. Characteristically, these necklaces incorporate the organization’s letters, symbols, or colors in their design. For instance, a necklace might feature the Greek letters of the sorority crafted from sterling silver, or a charm representing a significant symbol associated with the group.
Such items serve as visual representations of membership and sisterhood within the organization. They demonstrate pride in affiliation and provide a tangible link to the values and history of the sorority. Historically, these pieces have been exchanged as gifts during initiation or as symbols of friendship and commitment among members. They also serve as a means of discreetly identifying oneself as a member of the organization to others familiar with its symbols.
