Winner winner chicken dinner! It's been clear this chickie was just looking for letters from her first post.

If you don't like sterling and prefer gold, say that. Don't say your sisters have cheap jewelry and thus cheap taste. I have a feeling your new member period is going to be very interesting.

I even know a few people who think yellow gold is tacky and cheap-ish. :D Just saying.

Gold vs. silver: matter of personal taste.

INORITE? Platinum or nothing.

Just kidding. But I do prefer and wear almost exclusively white gold except my badge and my grandmother's jewelry.

when I typed silver I was including platinum and white gold in my mind. (Non-yellow gold metal)

I figured as much. :)

All of my jewelry is wooden, beaded, and/or the silvers (including diamonds).

What is wrong with all of you?
Yes, I got a bid. And I am so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this sisterhood. I've seen how great it's been for others and that's what I want.
I did not mean that they have cheap taste at all! It's just easier to find sterling silver jewelry with sorority letters than to find something more expensive. A family member of mine told me to find a nice piece of jewelry for her to get me when I'm initiated, so I figured I would ask here if people knew of anywhere to find something.
I have asked a few questions here, never being judgmental, but you all must have this belief that every new member is an arrogant bitch because you respond to me as if that's what I am. I have not done anything to offend any of you so I don't know what the reason is.
And I did not come on here announcing "I GOT A BID" because I figured no one would care and it's not really anyone else's business. I came asking about jewelry, which somehow translates to stuck up brat to you all.

Regarding the bold text: those are the stories many of us love to hear.

If you had just asked about where to get jewelry without adding a statement about your sisters' jewelry looking cheap-ish, you wouldn't have gotten some of the responses you've gotten.

Hot dog! We have a wiener.

OP: Have you ever considered that some of the women in your sorority wear the "cheap stuff" because they don't want to keep expensive jewelry on campus for fear of theft? Or, they prefer the color silver over gold? (I prefer silver over gold because I'm very pale, and yellow gold looks awful against my skin.) Or, perhaps they're paying their own way through school and really can't afford your oh-so-precious high-end jewelry?

The logic train left you high and dry on the platform.

I don't know if this is an option for you, but sometimes if you go to local jewelry stores, they can customize pieces. :)

Face it, OP... Ever since you started posting on GC, you have asked inappropriate questions, made offfensive statements and assumptions. You have had to apologize in virtually every thread.
Now you ask about buying sorority jewelry and letters without ever letting us know that you have EARNED them.

Until you quit behaving badly, no one here is going to feel much like cutting you any slack. No more flouncing. It isn't pretty.

White gold, sterling silver, platinum, chrome ... I am one of the ones who prefer a silver finish. Most of the jewelry that I wear has a silver finish. But traditionally my sorority's symbol (the arrow) is gold. So if I wear an arrow, it will be gold, despite my personal taste. :)

I also prefer silver, but my key is always gold. :)
