Oh, shucks! Your school pulled the plug on custom grad caps unless they’re school-friendly. What a bummer. Fortunately, just because your school put a “school appropriate” rule into place, that doesn’t mean you don’t have to wear that boring ole’ graduation cap that everyone else is wearing. You just have to get a little more creative with your custom grad cap design to ensure it suits your personality and experience, as well as the school rules.

The School Mascot

One of the simplest ways to stand out from the crowd is to design a grad cap with the school’s mascot. It’s school friendly, it’s appropriate and you can customize it to suit your style.

Add a Hashtag

As long as the hashtag is school appropriate, this is a good way to add some personality into your graduation attire even when your school has vetoed other options.

Change Up the Background

If your school mascot doesn’t do it for your creative side, consider changing out the background to add a bit of contrast and personality.

The School Name

If you’re graduating from a famous or prestigious school, there’s no need to go extreme when designing your graduation cap. Instead, simply plaster the name on the top of your cape and you’re ready to go.

Add a Border

Still looking for a bit more OOMPH for your graduation cap? Add a unique border to keep your custom grad cap school appropriate while also adding in an extra dose of personality and style.

Add an Accessory

The best grad cap accessory is definitely the tassel but when your school has put a ban on extreme custom grad caps, you really need to think beyond the tassel. So, add on some rhinestones, symbols and personalized touches to turn a boring grad cap into a fun one that will stand out.

Change Out The Font

Most schools have a statement font they use for branding but sometimes, it just doesn’t do justice. No one wants to be strutting down the graduation ceremony with a times roman font. So, switch it up. Find a font that appeals to you and decorate your grad cap while still keeping it school appropriate.

It’s crazy to think that after all the time (and money) you put in at your school, you can’t customize your graduation cap to whatever you want. Fortunately, you can still make it your own with these little tweaks and changes that will keep the grad cap school appropriate, your graduation drama-free and your professors happy. With a bit of creativity, it’s amazing what you can do even when your school has vetoed fully customized grad cap designs. So, head on over to Tassel Toppers and explore the possibilities.

You don’t need to go fancy to showcase your sorority soul at your upcoming graduation. All you need is your Greek letters, your school colors and any extras you’d like to add onto your custom grad cap and everyone in the audience will know the importance of your sisterhood.

The Sisterhood Saying

Every sorority has a unique motto that coincides with the sisterhood. While we don’t recommend sharing the secret motto of your sorority - that would be against the rules - if you have a public one that you often chanted at school football games or when hosting a big party, go ahead and add it to your custom grad cap.

The best part? Our custom graduation caps are designed with the most durable plastic to ensure they’ll keep for a lifetime, making a sorority graduation cap one heck of a souvenir. 

A Message For Your Sisters

Chances are, you’ve spent many nights leading up to graduation where you’ve just sat around and reminisced with your sisters about the amazing years spent together. So, might as well end graduation on a similar note – pardon the pun - and send some love with a custom message on your graduation cap.  

Where Your Dreams Came True

If it wasn’t for your school, the sorority wouldn’t be alive. So, grab your sisters and design some custom grad caps that showcase where your dreams – and sisterhood began. Imagine you and your sisters walking into graduation with the same custom graduation caps? You’ll definitely be signing off in style!

Alpha Phi! Sisterhood is such a huge part of your college or university experience, and it deserves to be celebrated. These custom graduation cap ideas for sororities are certain to leave something for the new recruits to live up to.
