Throw what you know.

You’ve been throwing it for years now, so own it in your graduation photos. Throw it alone, throw it with a friend or throw it with a group, those photos are bound to get a place of honor in your graduation scrapbook.

Letter that cap.

Over the past few years, adding personal details to graduation caps has become commonplace at college commencement ceremonies. Glue your letters on in rhinestones or puffy paint your crest on top. You’re sure to stand out as a sister, and it will make it easier for your family to find you in the sea of caps.

Cords for days.

Most campus organizations offer graduation cords, either for free, included in the membership fee or for sale before graduation. See what your chapter has to offer, and loop those cords around with pride on graduation day. Another simple addition? Pin your badge on your collar.

Superman it.

OK, so if grooms and groomsmen can wear superhero shirts underneath their tuxes to Superman open for wedding photos, you can totally wear your letters underneath your grad robes and do the same. Pick your favorite letters for a goofy solo pic, or coordinate with sisters for a fabulous and memorable group photo.

Chant out loud.

Graduation crowds are full of hundreds, if not thousands, of seniors, all talking one over the other before the ceremony begins. If you’re not forced to site in alphabetical order, group together with your girls and chant your favorites before the ceremonies begin.

Just because you’re graduating doesn’t mean you need to give up being Greek. Include these smart ideas at graduation and they’ll become some of your favorite graduation memories.
