TJ just opened a store in the bay area. I have to check that out!

I just got an amazing pink and white stripped lilly dress at the Saks outlet Off Fifth, its adorable and was a steal so that store may be worth checking out too

I haven't been Marshall's in years but the one day (yesterday) I decided to cruise through there, they had Lilly shoes. And the ONLY reason I saw them from across the store was because of the box. With the green handle. :D I didn't buy them but now that I know they carry Lilly, I'll check more often.

Apparently, Lilly is offering letter shirts for certain sororities:

Perhaps they'll expand to other organizations depending on the demand?!

Just thought I'd pass it along since I know recruitment season is upon us! :D

Oh WOW! I wish they had my letters... I would get one right now!

Ditto. But I don't see the Farmville Four getting much love from Lilly.:(

The Syracuse Triad is getting the shaft as well. Lilly needs to step it up!!!

KD has been selling Lilly letters our of boutique for a couple years now, so I'm surprised to not see them there!

Yeah, too bad!

I wonder why? I wonder if our/my organization just has stricter guidelines or what the deal is? There are many things that I see, that other organizations have and that are in good taste, but isn't offered for my organization. One example was those beautiful Christopher Radko sorority ornaments from a few years back. I'm sure the National Organization has their reasons, and I'm sure they are what's best - so I won't argue, but it would be interesting to know how they go about deciding what to lend their name to and such.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that perhaps this one will get through!

:]

I don't think our Nationals are the problem. Why make something that you can only market to 20,000* women, when you can make something you can market to 250,000* women? (*These numbers came out of my ass, I have no idea what "official" counts look like right now) Plus, certain NPCs are ALWAYS going to be seen by certain parts of the country (where Lilly, et al are marketed) as more prestigious than others, and those are the ones that are going to have their letters made.

A Zeta sister posted this link on my FB. Le Sportsac & Lilly are going to be working together to make a handbag line for 2010!

This totally makes sense; I never realized that some NPC groups get the shaft in terms of product licensing. I've always been able to get the AXO products that I've originally seen made for other sororities. I guess this also explains why Mattel manufactured AKA and DST dolls to celebrate the groups' Centennial Anniversaries. The demand was more concentrated among those two groups than for the 26 NPC groups! :)

Don't fret if your org is not on the Lilly site right now! Lilly is just beginning to offer us all something greek.

Pretty soon Lilly will offer an option to create your own sorority T.

Sounds like fun to me.
