If you have any money left.....
 

How about pansy car floor mats? Not black & gold pansies, but pretty close!

Or a hand painted vase with pansies:

I wish I knew how to insert a picture!

They have Theta floor mats for your car and house as well as Theta coasters, placemats, and a whole bunch of other stuff! I havent ordered from them before though. I'm trying to check them out first.

I dont know if I would want car floor mats with our beautiful crest on it though.......Especially durign winter with the snow and slush and stuff getting on it......I'd kinda feel like I was disrespecting our ritual in a way or something.

I have LOVED reading the posts in this thread and looking at all the pansy stuff...who knew there was so much???

I also wanted to add that you know you're a Theta when you get incredibly excited to meet new Thetas. I am home for the summer and was wearing a letter shirt while I went to get coffee this morning. Two girls in Starbucks came up to me, introduced themselves and told me they were Thetas, too! One of them even had this really great bag with letters on it that gave me an idea for our chapter...Just a really nice way to start the morning!

I always take my letter bag with me to the airport. I'm always bound to meet one or two Thetas when I'm walking around to catch my next flight :)

Now read this :)
 

Today I was browsing around Garden Ridge.........Not only did i see and purchase a framed black and gold pansy print for my ever evolving pansy bathroom (thanks Katy for the idea!), they also had pansy stamps and lots of pansy scrapbooking materials for the crafty Theta's out there.


I was also browsing around Linens N Things and Bed, Bath, & Beyond and have also found some pansy prints on dishes, bowls, mugs, and dessert dishes, and salad plates, as well as canisters.

I know atleast two of these stores have websites so if anyone is interested(because I know not many if any of you live in or near Lexington) ya may want to check those out! :)

I've done the "She's a Theta!" thing so many times that now my (non-Greek!) friends sometimes even beat me to it for the Thetas we see/hear about a lot (Sheryl Crow, Laura Bush).

Also, I totally started doing the kite/letters/badge doodling thing while I was pledging, and now it's become a habit I just can't stop. That reminds me of a funny story, the first day in one of my classes we did this introductory thing where we had to name a symbol that represented us. A Pi Phi across the room picked an arrow, and so of course I had to choose a kite. But it was a little tricky to come up with some other things that it could represent so I wasn't giving away ritual when I explained how it described me :)

The most recent Nature's Jewelery Catalog which i received today in the mail has :

Lavender Pansy socks

Pansy change purse

and a pillow that looks like it has pansies on it that says " you are more special than words can say"

They also have a silver ring in there as well that would be of interest to Thetas but that is all I can say about the ring here :)

Bumping this old thread because...there's a pretty big kite festival on the lakefront this weekend, which of course makes me think of Theta :) People from all over are coming together to fly all different kinds of kites. It should be really pretty to see!

After i graduate from med school and have my own permanent home, i was planning to have a "relaxation/meditation" room that had theta stuff everywhere...old scrapbooks, photos, etc. We'll see what my future husband has to say about that...

but for now, i am content to have my cups and photo frames. When I was in Japan I took a picture with some pansies, the same semester as my initiation. i was soo excited-as if we don't have pansies here!

You know you're a Theta when....


YOu get an alumnae email news letter from HQ and think it is so great that you wont delete it from your inbox :)

I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one that does things like this. Ha! I find it hard to get rid of anything that reminds me of Theta...I think I'm slightly OCD.


ETA: I still have my kite name tag from MY bid day...

You know you're a Theta when..........


You beg your husband to let you charge the 80 bucks to the credit card to purchase the 2006 Kappa Alpha Theta Alumnae Directory :)


Mine came Saturday. I've had fun looking up members of my chapter and seeing where they are and what they are doing :)

HUH?? :confused: You mean there might be a Theta that DOESN'T have their Bid Day name tag?? :D I certainly do!

I still have mine too from August of 1997. It's in the shape of twinstars.

Now I feel MUCH better! Haha. I thought I was just weird keeping an old name tag because it was a kite!
