Shopping for para in the Bay Area!
 

Hey Sorors!

If you are ever in the Bay area, in particular Berkeley( 15-20 min drive from San Francisco) PLEASE stop byTHE GREEK HOUSE.
It is owned and operated by one of our sorors, & I didnt even think to ask her name!:rolleyes: Her store is 1 block away from the UC Berkeley (CAL) campus. I'm going to visit her this friday so Ill tell you guys what she has avalible. OK? Call the store before you come because she is a Grad student and is in finals right now but I'm sure that will change after the break. She doesn't have a website yet but is working on one.

EE-YYIIPP!:D :D

The info is in the Aurora.

Update
 

What a great store! I went this morning and was pleasantly suprised by the selection of merchendise (sp?) avalible. The Soror's name is Marina so if you're ever in town, stop by and bring a lot of cash (or plastic).

Soror TRSimon, I will check out the other store you mentioned:)

NP.

Hey NinjaPoodle,

I'd actually visited the store a few weeks ago simply because I saw the name of the store! When I went in, I was surprised to see the amount of NPHC related gear there (I'd assumed it was a primarily NPC, IFC greek shop that would have a smattering of NPHC items) and couldn't figure out why until I read this post! Frankly I'd been also surprised with the amount of SGRho and Zeta gear I'd seen there, which is rather unusual, and your post explains this too! :D

I will definately encourage the Zeta undergrad and grad chapters as well as Greeks generally in the Bay Area to frequent the store!

Does the store have a web site?

Re: Re: Shopping for para in the Bay Area!
 

Thank you!! PLEASE do tell your sorors and other NPHC'ers to visit. When I first heard of the store, I thought the same thing regarding them possibly having more NPC and IFC stuff than ours, but then I found out she is my soror and got to the store and was like "Hey, the party's on!!":)

Special 1920, no, she doesn't have a website yet but it is in the works. I'll keep you posted.:)

Just an FYI

Soror Marina came to the SFSU stepshow 2/11 and sold her goods. Well all I can say is you know I'm a neo.

[Soror Ninja Poodle standing up wearing head to toe SGRho gear] Hi..my name is Ninja Poodle......and I'm a Neophyte!

[Other neos at the Neo's Anonymous meeting in unison] Hi Ninja Poodle!

[Ninja Poodle] Hey!
:p

How was the SFSU Stepshow
 

I didn't go, clearly. How was it, and who won?

SoRhor NinjaPoodle,

Girl, you are so crazy! You enjoy being a neo! Ain't nothing wrong with showing off all that Royal Blue and Gold!;)

Ninjapoodle,

Stop teasing us (smile)! What did you get? And where is mine?

Serioussigma22:D

weeelllll,
 

Oookkkaaayy, I got a beige straw hat and a baseball hat and a t-shirt and a wooden necklace (blue and gold w/ pearls) and a black t-shirt w/crooked 1/2 blue and gold letters and a black business book bag with our letters and PRETTY POODLE and 1922 embroidered (sp?) on it. Then I went to Nordstrom and bought this cute RHOyal blue top and white and RHOyal blue hand bag to match. I think I'm good to go!

And girl, I got you the hook up!

Sorhor Ninjapoodle,

Sorhor, you are a person after my own heart! I love to purchase Sigma Gamma Rho nalia and especially clothing and jewelry items. It's great to have items that you can hang in your house or car, however, I love to sport my sisterhood proudly! You go on girl and wear that Sigma nalia.

Serioussigma22;)

:) Sorhor Ninjapoodle, you went shopping!! Go ahead and repRHOsent that blue and gold!! EEEEE-YIP!! :)

I saw Soror Marina at Regional Conference..
 

You know sorors bought her out :)

Re: I saw Soror Marina at Regional Conference..
 

All of the time. She never has anything cause' we ALWAYS buy her out and then get mad at ol' soror cause' she ain't got nunin'!;) Tee hee..

And of course, true to my nature, I went crazy yesterday in her store! I will be ready for the Bayou Classic in my new para!;)

Cleanin' out the shop!!!
 

So, I found myself in Berkeley in the middle of the day, and I went to Marina's shop.........She had just got an order in, so I waited until everything was unpacked before I made my selections. She got some CUTE STUFF in. Some was Delta stuff [including a travel coffee tumbler] that I urged her to order for us, b/c I know myself and Ninja Poodle will buy it!'

As a heads up, she moved the shop, but not far. It's still on the same block, in the same complex, just around the corner. Also, they're working like crazy on the website.

Back to work, so I can earn more money, for more 'nalia!!!!
:cool: :cool: :cool: :D :D

Movin again..
 

As of my last post, she's moved again. Same complex, still around the corner but one more section down. Suite #143. I went there today and she was adding more stuff to the website. The website should be up and running in a month.:)

Don't forget the 10% discount for SGRho Sorors! :D
