Cristopher Radko Sorority and Fraternity Ornaments
 

I know it is WAY early, but this is something that was just sent to me. Apparently, Christopher Radko has branched out and is making Sorority/Fraternity ornaments for Christmas.

Christopher Radko Sorority/Fraternity Ornament Collection

He doesn't have every group, but many are represented!

sorry mods if I posted this in the wrong thread. move it where it should be (if needed) ;)

Is it just me or does the DZ turtle ornament look like a transvestite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

I hadn't looked at all the ornaments (just the ZTA and Delta Gamma one for my mom), but I may have to agree with you on that one.

I like the Pike one. Pretty cool!

No Alpha Xi Delta... sniff, sniff (although lots of times the teddy bears on our stuff look kinda creepy, so maybe it's not a bad thing)

I really like the Alpha Phi and the Gamma Phi ornaments, tho... And I might just have to get the "transvestite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" for a DZ friend.

These are pretty cool looking.

The fraternity crest ornaments are very cool!

Too funny! It does!

I have a hard time fathoming spending $39 on a Christmas ornament... some of them are cute, some are sorta fugly.

Wonder if the greek licensing folks have gone after them yet?

There is a link at the bottom of the page. If you want to give them suggestions, they will pass them onto Christopher Radko himself. (HINT!HINT! alphaxikt)

My mom and I collect ornaments, and these are worth a lot of money over the years. I can fathom paying that much for an ornament! As for licensing, I have no idea, but already have my ZTA ornament ordered should IO say no more selling of these! :D

At the very least, the Theta ornament is sold through our official "stuff" catalog, so I suspect the other HQs are at least aware of these.

i'm sure our HQ knows too. i got an email from an alumnae dept director last year and it talked about buying them. i don't know if it was just from her or if she got the heads up from someone else.

some of those are just beautiful! i like the GPB one, but why red letters and a pink moon? Why not a yellow moon and pink or blue letters? just seems odd to me.

I adore the badge ornaments...But HONEY, PLEASE explain why ADPi got two and Pi Kappa Phi has none????

OMG!! You just read my mind (and I swear that was the EXACT way I would have descdribed it!!)

I actually called the shop who made the website. Apparently they are the biggest distributor for him. If you email the link below with suggestions, they will pass them on to Mr. Radko.

I already have sent him a couple of ideas, but go for it. I guess they will realize that there is a HUGE market out there for these.

That's because he got the Delta Zeta order and the SHIM order mixed up....LOL ;) (Right, Killarney Rose?!) |

bwah ha ha ha..........

The pictures don't do justice to the actual ornament. The Pi Beta Phi angel ornament was being sold at Convention (so yes, HQ does know about them... they were selling 'em-- and sold out!). The quality and detail would absolutely make them worth the price.

ETA: I am a bit blind... and just noticed it was the second to the last link. However, in person it looks nicer.

I did not see a DDD link on the Christopher Radko Sorority Collection page. However, there is a local boutique in Madison, MS that has them. It is a dolphin with letters.

Don't worry DZ's! Your turtle may look like a strange ninja turtle, but at least it looks happy, unlike the hostile/derranged looking owl! IMO, the ornaments using the symbol (lyre, key, crown, etc) or the crest looks ALOT better than any of the ornaments with animals.

that is a scary turtle!

... heroes in a half shell... turtle power!

ps. i'm a little scared to see what he'd come up with in regards to a squirrel

The Kappa Delta ornament was available for purchase AT convention last month. I was beautiful, but far more money than I was willing to spend (especially since I don't celebrate).

My Pi Phi sister-in-law LOVES angels. She collects them and they are all over their home. And come Christmas, well... it's a veritable Angel Jamboree.

Might just need to email my brother with this site. Or maybe I'll surprise her with an early stocking stuffer.

Always nice to be on the good side of the in-laws. :cool:

The owl's eyes, remind me a bit of Fawkes (the phoenix from Harry Potter #2 movie)

There are other online stores that carry these same ornaments:

I know; I took one look at it and was about to post the same thing! Great minds, right? ;)

I wouldn't want that thing on my tree; it'd scare my kids!

LOL! Scary stuff...

aww.. i wish they weren't so much. i really like the alpha phi one, and i wanted to get it for my grandmother for christmas... but $40 is a lot more than i like to spend on gifts, what with being a poor college kid and all.

I just saw the Theta and Phi Mu ornaments at the shop of one of our Greekchatters, VSUPhiMu, down in Valdosta. Gorgeous!
