I think the Vineyard Vines KD print looks like wallpaper at a grandmother's house. The belt is really special, but it wouldn't show.

Why is it in pink considering that pink isn't a color associated with Kappa Delta? I also think that a nautilus shell would have been far superior to the teddy bear on the Kappa Delta items, is he wearing a red bow tie? Furthermore, Alpha Phi is also in pink (not one of their colors either) and has a teddy bear as well, whereas a nice ivy leaf would look much better than Winnie the Pooh's inbred cousin, Whino the Boo. I get that Vineyard Vines uses pastels, but gray is at least closer to silver.

Theta has a nice looking print but it is purple, wtf? Pi Phi doesn't have a carnation, let alone a wine colored one, it kind of looks like a cotton boll to me. You can see them all here, and they are Greek Licensed Products. http://www.vineyardvines.com/categor...2550_____13055

Someone else mentioned Phi Mu has... and my rush/bid day last semester was Wizard of Oz themed as well. It might be older than your mom, but it's also a classic.

Sash? Do people, even VV preppy people, wear sashes any more? It's a little Jane Austen, even for your most pearls and polos girl.

To be fair, the VV stuff makes the Lilly prints look like the pinnacle of sophistication. The colors are all wrong, they made terrible choices on symbols, and the symbols they executed are all fug (IMO ZTA is the worst, by far. Looks like a child's print).

My chapter once had VV make us a print for some tote bags. They were light blue and subtle and had arrows on them. Couldn't they have used that print?

I agree with you - I'm not 100% sold on Alpha Phi's Lilly print but it's a thousand times better than what VV is offering. Still SMH at the purple :eek: Theta design...

We should quit expecting other businesses to help us express ourselves. That Spoonflower web site allows us to do our own thing, we should vote with our money instead of settling. As the SPQ's say, "Be particular!"

I wanted to get the VV Kappa print stuff for my 4 year old. It's like "My First Sorority" paraphernalia. :)

Unless you're at Tau chapter NU? But you're right, it's a DPhiE color-look, not Theta.
