Not a Delta, but
 

I have soooo much respect for Dorothy Height!! She is truly a national treasure.

(I'm lovin' the pink ensemble she's wearing..:p )

Sorority came, wore red, and shopped with a fever at Macy's

Philadelphia Business Journal - August 4, 2006

When the convention of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority came to town, people took notice.

For one thing, with 16,000 attendees dressed in red attire, they could be spotted throughout Philadelphia from July 31 to Aug. 3.

Macy's also took notice.

The department store, which opened in the former Lord & Taylor store on Aug. 2, arranged a special private opening just for the Deltas on July 29.

In four hours, some 5,000 Deltas scouted the aisles and scoured the racks. In the shoe department alone, they spent $40,000. In total, they spent $150,000.

Macy's responded by extending the private access two more days.

Overall, the Delta Sigma Theta annual meeting had a $20 million economic impact on Philadelphia, according to the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau.

That is not pink, it is LILAC. :D :p

LOL

Exactly. :D

This mayhem is why I avoided Macy's during Convention. My linesister insisted on walking to Macy's by herself and shopping. Came back with one of those free red bags with all the freebies inside. Secondhand freebies are good enough for me. :)

I thought the lady's suit was pink also. I guess it just look that way on the picture. I was like, why was a Delta wearing pink at their convention? lol

I'm sorry, it's mauve...:p (at least that's what my Delta aunt calls the color in her kitchen.):cool: :D

Because she can and/or she may...it doesn't matter...sheesh...:rolleyes: go that---> way!!

The mauve thing is a running gag in my chapter. I guess it's a "Delta thang." :D

I am more surprised that you didn't recognize "the lady." I mean she can wear any color she damn well pleases.

But btw, in person it was lilac/lavendar.

Ours is fushia :)

:D I was RIGHT!!! :cool:

Right! :D

For everyone else, Soror Height tends to wear purple shades rather than our typical red and white. Purple also is a signficant color to DST.

I was only making an observation (which happened to be wrong). I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. I apologize if I offended anyone.
