Vera Bradley is actually an Indiana thing. If you think it's big there... Good Lord, you haven't seen anything! She operates out of Ft. Wayne, IN and every sorority girl here has at least one. I know it's spreading across the USA, but it's fairly big in the midwest but especially in Indiana.

OK, UFers, here's a question for you...

It seems from the pictures that *most* houses dress up in pretty dresses, get their new girls, happy dance, cry, hug, then change to comfy clothes. However I noticed one group, DPhiE I think, who were in casual attire with letter tanks. And their new members seemed to be dressed similarily. How do you know what to wear to Bid Day as a PNM? I know this is a silly question, but now I'm curious...

I am guessing that the photographer got to D Phi E after they all changed clothes. :) They look much comfyer - I can't imagine bid day in a dress.

I don't really know how DPhiE pulled it off on Bid Day with their girls....

BUT...with Kappa, we were all dressed up, did the whole song and dance, took our class and house photos.... and then went inside the house to eat dinner and watch a movie on a projection screen. The sisters lent the new members comfy clothes to wear, b/c we were all sprawled out on pillows and blankets on the floor watching the movie. It was a lot of fun, and it's definitely interesting to watch a girly movie with an ENTIRE sorority! LOL

But we dress up for our photos also.... it just sucks standing outside in the Florida/August sun for soooo long, waiting to take a picture. We were definitely all stinky and gross once we got inside... we were all joking about it!

No kidding! I almost thought: "if you do not have a Lilly, do NOT apply!" :D

I can think of one house that it probably pertains to.....and Im not kidding....:D

I agree with this! It seems like I always see someone carrying a bag around campus.

I personally think the bags are butt ugly *ducks as fellow sorority girls throw their bags at my head*, but to eath her own. :D

I have been seeing LOTS AND LOTS of Vera Downtown lately.

It's scaring me.

I have never seen a Vera Bradley bag in my life. At least, I haven't noticed it. I have seen a lot of YSL white bag knock offs.

They look like diaper bags to me.

lol! :D
