I was the one who first posted a link on chickclick to here and honestly I'm almost sorry I did. A few ppl have said they had questions answered but it's just gotten so childish and immature. It really bugs me that ppl from CC would just rush (no pun) over and check out topics on a chit chat board and not something a bit more greek oriented ya know?

~to be true to ourselves, to those within and without our circle ~

Thank you OTW. I too agree this must be a poser. I was offended by what the Gamma Phi (?Is that right) chick had to say. yes sororites help women become classy young ladies, but money does not define class. I know many girls who may not drive a SUV or BMW, but they have plenty of class. Most college students can't afford those things mentioned. I have to save my paychecks so I can afford nice things and I still can't afford a BMW or Kate Spade. What's wrong with scrunchies? Maybe Gamma Phi wears diamonds in her hair when she works out, but most girls(yes even sorority girls) wear scrunchies.

What's Chick Click??

I too, am curious as to what "chick click" is.

In response to previous postings:

My point about imposters is that if I can't afford the real thing, I simply don't buy it, or some knock-off of it. It is fine to have no designer names flashing around, but it is tacky to flash obviously fake ones.

Scrunchies for bed/working out- no big deal, but on the wrist to "coordinate" with your outfit, no no!

Come on, play along, some of you obviously have good taste(whether or not you have a huge budget). You have some fashion no-nos to add to the list!

haha, I don't really wear scrunchies out unless I'm really bumming (working out or lounging around at home)...
You weren't specific about it, so I thought you were saying that even owning scrunchies were tacky :P

When I was still in figure skating, I always wore my hair in a bun or ponytail when competing and almost always held it up with a scrunchie--that unfortunately, coordinates with my costumes....and since i probably have 8246346 scrunchies, sometimes I do wear one on a regular day just to keep my hair off my face.
I admit that with my own independence (and occasional parental generosity) I've had the privilege of shopping at Bebe,BCBG,A/X and GUess, but that doesn't mean i have a phobia from stores like Rave or Forever 21. like OTW, I am a proud shopper at Forever 21 and I even have sisters that work there during the summertime. I thanked God when I heard our mall finally had a store open up , I don't have to drive to the far mall anymore.In fact, I just bought stuff from there yesterday! They have pretty party clothes, and fine, the clothes don't scream TOMMY GIRL or something in the front but they are a good value, they have great selections and update their inventory like every other day. Maybe the reason you just don't wanna shop there, poser, is because you probably can't fit into their sizes.
:P
A real sorority girl won't put down stores that other Greeks shop at like you.

What's Forever 21?

I like Charlotte Russe or I should say I did until some of their clerks were snotty. So the next time I went to that mall I shopped at Bebe and Guess. I understand that it can be a tough job, but all I was doing was buying my items and not being picky. I had asked for an application in December and it took four people before they figured out they weren't hiring even though only 2 days before they had now hiring signs up.

Forever 21 is a store somewhat like Charlotte Russe (only cheaper) and it sells mostly party/clubbing gear like dresses, "sorority pants" and sparkly tops, although lately they have started to carry more casual stuff too like jeans, tanks, etc. They also got some accessories as well. I am willing to bet that 95% of their stuff is under 20$...that's how cheap it is http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Ok, I'm gonna give GPhi the benefit of the doubt here, guys. GPhi, I totally understand what you are talking about. In fact we all do. But since we are on a public forum here, it's dangerous to put out an opinion that isn't perfectly wholesome. True, all of us have looked through mags and commented on tacky outfits or even been to dances and commented on tacky dresses chosen in poor tase. There is a time and an occasion for everything though. Stores like Forever 21 are fabulous for fun exchanges when you need something you'll only wear once or twice. But for staple items, I most def agree that you should go for quality. No one wants to bash you, girl. It's just that no one wants to hurt anyone's feeling either. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

I agree it's all about quality. Why buy something if you can only use it once or twice? But, there is nothing wrong with grabbing a party shirt at Charlotte Russe.... I am not that preppy & they have a lot of stuff that is my style. By the way, I for one do not own anything from Tiffany & I love my MUDD jeans... they are so worn in and comfy!!!!!!

back to what we all need: (and this is just a joke, so some of you stop taking it all that seriously!)
-a good tan
-a good haircut
-something with an abercrombie label on it
- a fraternity boyfriend
- a best guy friend (to take you to things when you and your boyfriend are fighting)
-a kate spade bag (SAM, preferably and they are cheap on Ebay)
-black boots
-black pants
-black strapless dress
-strappy black sandals
-a pack of cigarettes (even if you don't smoke a hot guy might ask you for one!)
-a lighter to light the hot guy's cigarettes
-good friends to laugh and confide in
-good sisters to laugh and confide in
-friends not in your sorority so you can complain abou it to them
-your own bar stool or table
-a favorite beer that isn;t too cheap or expensive
-good nailpolish that stays on
-be able to sing along to a favorite local band.
-be able to hold your liqour and not be a drunken idiot!
-a good job after you graduate (6 mos. grace period)so when you go back for homecoming they all go "oooooh" when you say what you do
-to know when to let go and to know when to remininse.
SHMILY! SATR!XI LOVE!

Charlotte Russe is my *FAVE* store!!! They're always having good sales at the one at Opry Mills! I also love Aeropostale for the more casual, sporty look. Also Wet Seal is a cute store for clubbing outfits. The only reason I can afford this stuff is because I don't have a car to pay for, LOL! I don't need a car living on campus, anyhow---plenty of other people can give me rides!
Oh, I don't agree with the "pack of cigs" thing---even if the guy is hot, a guy that smokes turns me off! It really grosses me out (no offense to those of you who do smoke). I kissed a guy that smoked onetime, and it tasted like licking an ashtray! :P
And lucky those of you who have a nice tan! I have freckles and red hair, so the only way I get a tan is from a bottle (I've become an expert at it LOL).

******Here are some of my nescessities:

black flair-legged pants


black chunky-heeled shoes

**liquid eye liner!---the other kind doesn't
stay on!**

lip gloss (I hate having rough chapped lips!)

a small comb/brush that fits in your pocket

a powder compact

Nokia cell phone w/changeable faceplate and sparkly case w/strap

a nail file

small irridescent stud earrings (they'll go with anything!)

a push-up bra (you know some of you wear these, too, ladies! Don't they work wonders?)

a nice manicure and pedicure (no hangnails or calluses for me, eek!)

at least one sequined halter top for clubbing

a tiny under-the-clothes waist-pouch for toting pic. I.D. and money for clubbing
(I found one at Wal-Mart--it's barely noticeable, and you don't have to stick those in your sweaty shoe!)

several pairs of khakis (I can't live without these--they go with any shirt!)

a cute, ruffly black skirt http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

a flat-screen monitor for your computer (I found one for only $399 at HHGregg!)

Okay....I can't think of anything else right now...

~~~Don't worry, be happy!~~~

Tinkbell- Thanks for mentioning the pouch. I need to go get one. I'm sure it was so obvious that I was a freshman this past yr bc i carried a purse (from Express) to parties. How embarressing. Anway I need something to put essentials in bc a purse can be a real pain.
