In celebration of a successful formal recruitment at the wearers' school, I am finally posting pictures of a joint order. Apparently at this university, the Chi Omegas do a lot of functions with the Sigma Chis. So much so that the ΣX boys are little brothers and the ΧΩ girls are the big sisters.
This is much different than in my day. While my sorority definitely tended to pair with certain fraternities at my university, it was not a formal joining. We were free to affiliate as individual members of fraternities as Little Sisters. Favorite guys of our sorority were called Keymen rather than Little Brothers.
In any case, the Chi Omega is a Sigma Chi Big to a specific Sigma Chi and he is correspondingly the Chi Omega Little to her. ΧΩ colors are red and yellow and ΣX colors are cobalt blue and yellow. I assumed they would want yellow as one of the colors as it ties in with both of their groups but they decided to eliminate yellow entirely and go with each of their other colors ie the red and cobalt. They also wanted the big/little relationship embroidered on the sleeve. My machine does not have that capability so the embroidery was done by hand using a running stitch.
