I don't know if the next sorority prints will just be accessories, like what's available now. I'll get myself a tote, and my sister something smaller in the DG print.

OK, I went and looked & found the tiny letters for DZ, KKG, and KD. The Tri-Delta print has "Delta Delta Delta" written out and worked into the print. Now I'm really curious to see what Lilly will create for all the sororities selected!

Here's what I know about the use of our letters:

The words "Kappa Alpha Theta" and "Theta," our Greek letters, and the coat-of-arms are registered trademarks of Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity.

I'm searching for the document that specifies where and how our letters can be used, and not having any luck.* The active who's designing t-shirts for the chapter asked me about appropriate use of our letters, so I know there's a document somewhere that specifies this. I wonder if Lilly will do something for Theta like was done for Tri-Delta in terms of working our name into a design.

*I'll come back and edit this post to add the information as soon as I find it (which may be a while, crazed day ahead).

[there are a few days left in this week's Zuma Blitz challenge, so it ain't over yet, IL, I still have a chance to overtake you.]

I saw IrishLake's comments on the Lilly thread and was just tickled. At least we can agree on something, when she's not giving me a beating on Zuma Blitz.

Personally, I wonder just exactly what Lilly can do with black and gold. I'm hoping for a black on black shift of some sort that women of any age can wear. Pansies, not so much. Kites? *shrug* I'll just be interested to see what the design team creates. I wouldn't mind a purse or tote bag or something of the sort.

Some of the disgruntled comments were ludicrous. For the love of Mike, it's a clothing line. It's not brain surgery or a Rhodes Scholarship.

Kappa Alpha Theta restricts the use of our greek letters to a very limited number of applications/contexts. So, I was surprised to read above ^^^ that Delta Zeta letters were incorporated into a print. Then again, each GLO has its own policies.

It's a for-profit enterprise, and I guess I just felt like something was "off" in having the GLOs lobby their membership to urge a company to have products available in special prints for us...as a competition. This was nothing but a publicity stunt for LP, and the only reason they aren't issuing prints for all of the GLOs now is because they know they can re-run this contest later and get more publicity. In the meantime, sore feelings are created as sororities battle other sororities over something as ridiculous as a scarf or makeup bag. I just think it's kindof a crappy move, if you ask me.

I'm sorry, but if someone has ACTUAL "sore feelings" toward a brand because her sorority doesn't get a print, they have bigger issues. Really.

Would it have been cool for Sigma to have one? Sure. But at the end of the day, they're just scarves and handbags, folks.

That's why I posted those crazy comments from FB (see page 2 of this thread), because I found it hilarious that people were REALLY upset over this.

Yeah, I agree. I think that doing it by popular vote may not have been the best idea, since obviously bigger groups have more votes. Nobody complained when they arbitrarily selected the first round of prints. I think that's what they should've done, personally.

While I understand people are upset with voting and the way it turned out, Lilly Pulitzer is first and foremost a business. They make decisions based on what will give them the biggest profit. So groups that likely have a lot of members/a lot of members who will buy the merch is obviously what they're going to do. I think people went into this with the mindset we usually have for a greek competition. Obvi it was a publicity stunt, and they aren't doing this to make everyone happy but to make money. They aren't going spend money producing something that won't make $$$. I think the angry people don't realize that.
