A group of girls got with Vinyard Vines and are having the totes made with Phi Mu's letters on them. If you want to order one, go to facebook and join the group Phi Mu Vinyard Vines Totes.

A group of Kappas somewhere else did that and extended the offer to us here. They are just the cutest bags! They have fleur-de-lis material (dark blue background, light blue fleurs-de-lis) for the band at the top. Mine doesn't have letters, so I'm not sure if they just got the plain bags originally or if getting letters was an option that I chose not to do.

Vineyard Vines totes
 

The sailboat print would be cute for Tri-Sigma!

I have that bag also sans letters. I bought it at one of our Province meetings. In this case the Johns Hopkins chapter organized the sale.

I saw a mockup of an even cuter design that one of our KY chapters commissioned but never saw it in actuality. It had cross-hatched gold keys with light blue fleur-de-lis between the latticework. http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/b...sburytote1.jpg


Both Pi Phi and ADPi undergrads are trying to generate enough interest through their respective global Facebook groups to also place an order.

Well, that is just the cutest bag for Kappas! Is it for sale, or was it made especially for someone?

Maybe someone from the Johns Hopkins chapter was the one who handled our bag order--it has been a while, so I can't remember (that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! :p).

Apparently the Centre College Kappas commissioned it a couple of years ago. My co-worker's bio sister was an alum from that chapter and had one. Unfortunately they never did a re-order (I asked :) ).

URichmond KKGs also did the JHU design. Perhaps the Centre College design was too expensive to replicate easily since it involved more colors?

If the university's bookstore is licensed to carry Vineyard Vines, the chapters on that campus cannot order the bags wholesale. This is a problem that URichmond ran into. The first time they placed an order, the bookstore was not an official VV vendor so they could get the bags at wholesale + shipping with a minimum order of 100. Apparently after URichmond KKG got a new pledge class, the new girls wanted to order the bags but because the university bookstore was now a vendor, it wasn't allowed. Johns Hopkins isn't quite as preppy so the university hasn't bothered with VV licensing. VV makes URichmond-specific designs as well as for other colleges, universities and prep schools.

None of the anthropologie links work for me, they all go to the main page :(

Be still my heart!!!
 

German potato chips!

Those look delicious! I wonder if anyone makes dove flavoured chips? I know we have soap and chocolate already but chips would be good too.

who would want to eat dove-flavored chips?

Well, if I told you that, I'd have to kill you.

Look, you Sigma Kappas get all that cool chocolate ( AND ice cream now) - and the creamy soap. You can't have dove-flavoured chips, too!

Nothing beats ASA- Phoenix, Arizona. :D

Well Phoenix IS well known, but SK has (besides soap, chocolate and ice cream):
The Dove Tree
A guitar
Three different Rivers
A crater on the moon
A constellation
And a Britsh band called Doves plus a Silent Film called The Dove

WIN! Makes up for the girly colours. Not that I hate our colours. It's just that as a tomboyish sort of gal, I'd prefer less girly colours.
