I am doing some research for the book about sickle cell anemia and came across this great website for kids. I was very impressed with it. So whether you have a family member with sickle cell or they are researching the disease, this is a great website.

Check out my chapter's new website: The Alpha Tau
Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. at Southern University A&M College-Baton Rouge.

The elephants are across the top, hard to see but in person it is much more visible. This is really nice stationery. I use it a lot and when I saw the elephants I immediately thought of the amazing GC Deltas. It is on sale and would make a nice gift, or to send letters yourself.

I Love You Steeltrap!!!
 

I just visited alight.com and their clothing is just what I was looking for! I'm also looking for a little black dress for an event my chapter has coming up (and I was told that I had to dress grown and sexy--which is hard because I'm a tee-shirt and jeans girl every day and don't own many dresses). Well, I guess I had to do this sometime! Much to my happiness however, they had LOTS of cute jeans and stuh :D

The only thing that kind of sucks is that when they have an item that sells out or not in your size (I'm an 18, I ain't scurred to share), you're out of luck :(

Re: I Love You Steeltrap!!!
 

You are welcome. I haven't yet tried it, but I've seen their special occasion dresses and they look pretty good. :cool:
