Every Sorority Girls Necessities....
 

Ok, we all know the necessary items a sorority gal has to have......I'll start us off.
1.) Bebe bootcut black pants

2). Kate Spade SAM bag (black)

You definitely need the black shoes to match the black pants and the bag :-)

5.) Diamond (or CZ) stud earrings

6.) Nokia cel phone

9) Gold Kidney Bean Necklace from Tiffany

Also from Tiffany-
silver link bracelet wih the heart

Hope it is not too late- I am printing out this thread and giving it to my husband as my Christmas list- you girly girls have awesome taste!

I love the "Atlas" ring, too! $$$$$$

And also the "travel key chain" with the airplane and globe on it. Tres cute!

Yes, or black boots with a "mild" platform!

specifically, the 5165...

Gee girls, all this talk about Tiffany's is making me wish I were still on their mailing list!

I only have a few of their pieces, but I love their stuff! I have a silver bangle and the sterling triple hearts necklace. I hadn't worn them in a while, but this thread reminded me of them!

I do not think that any of these items on here are "every sorority girls necessities". It is a cute thread, and I am sure that what you list on here are things you WANT- but to other people, and I mean maybe like high school girls that read this.... they might really believe that all sorority girls wear those type of things. Pretty much everything on this list is really expensive and there might be people on there that cannot afford that and just think of sorority girls as shallow snobs. I am sorry but you can do without a Kate Spade bag, diamond stud earrings, and all of the tiffany jelwery. I hope everyone that reads this gets my point, and not get offended.

bucutie02:
You have a good point...perhaps the title
"every sorority girl's necessities" is a bit of a misnomer. I think the thread is more about every girl's (not just sorority members) wish list/fantasy??

OK, an ABSOLUTE necessity...

a sweet guy (not necessarily a bf) to accompany you to functions & formals, who gets along with your sisters, won't get too rowdy, and won't piss you off.

Too bad you can't buy those at Tiffany's!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Isn't my fantasy to own any of these things. Give me a big floppy sun hat, some work gloves, a pair of overall shorts, and a tank top and let me dig in my garden.

I know these are nothing compared to your list of necessities...but I always need my

-altoids

-chapstick

I go nuts without them!

Ok ok! As a part time sweet guy (I moonlight on weekends), and in my attempts to organize all of us into a union so we can get more respect (I feel like Rodney Dangerfield), I resent that comment http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif.

Accompany . . . conditions . . . sounds like we aren't a necessity but rather an accessory! Because ofcourse we need to match your outfit also. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

If you don't take us more seriously, us sweet guys (the meek that have been promised the earth), might go on strike and break all the rules http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif:

1. We won't talk until 2am (yet again) about the boy that's been mean to you forever.

2. We'll tell you are not doing the right thing and things won't be ok.

3. We'll answer that the black cocktail dress makes you look like you gained 10 pounds . . . twenty minutes before your formal. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

4. We'll sart dating all your friends and available sisters (family included). http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif

And just to be fair . . .

Necessities that a guys needs(in no particular order):

1. Grill

2. Long sharp objects

3. A car stereo more expensive than the car

4. Every item or piece of paper we have ever come across in our lives hoarded like a pack rat.

5. Tools (even if don't know how to use them)

6. Road maps (because we can't ask for directions)

7. a Remote control . . .

Did I miss anything?

ROFLMAO, James! That is too funny - and TRUE about the guy's needs. I also like the "sweet guy's revenge" list. That is too good!

I am laughing about this whole thread though, because I was poor in college. I mean my parents helped me out, and I had declining balance for a meal plan instead of standard - and that was considered to be pretty good! I didn't wear Bebe pants or carry Kate Spade bags...never owned a thing from Tiffany's --- but did borrow a few clothes from my sister Tiffany. I think every sorority girl's necessity is having a place to call home when you are far away from yours. My sisters were my only necessity since anything I ever really needed I got from them!

James to cute http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I have to agree on the cell phone- as I am always lost or getting a flat tire in the middle of now where.
As to my other needs- chap stick, a pin, and a bottle of DR Pepper

This is such a fun topic. I have a bunch of stuff to add!!!

~a light-colored (semi-tight) shirt to go with the black pants
~perfume to spray on after going to the clubs because noone likes to smell like cigarettes
~a brush
~cameras to capture the fun moments with your sisters
~fun CD's to listen to in the car on your way to wherever you are going

MAC or Hard Candy lipstick...the only brands I've seen that stay on for a really long time. I've found REALLY good deals on them (I'm talking 1-2 dollars a TUBE).

I understand that these posts could be misconstrued as stereotypically superficial. That certainly wasn't the intent. I hope no one who reads this will see us as superficial, shallow, snobs. If they do, their loss.

NUMBER #1.
The phone number of a sober sister to call at any hour if she ever needs a ride!

JAMES - you are just the greatest. I always love your posts, and I am now vowing to let my "sweet guys" know before the New Year how much I appreciate them and adore them.

Ladies... I just HATE to do this... since I have made a personal vow never to mix business with my GreekChat addiction, especially in a shameless self-promotion kind of way... but this is TOPICAL! I would be remiss if I didn't let my fellow Greek sisters know about this. I have one of these myself, but with my monogram instead of letters.

Check out this Tiffany-style bracelet - it comes with your letters, is solid sterling, and I guarantee you that NO-ONE will know where it... ahem... didn't come from. Oh, and it's about 1/3 of the Tiffany price!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Where on earth did you find this stuff for such a cheap price? I love MAC and Hard Candy, but I hate paying so much for them

AlphaChiGirl,

Where are you finding MAC lipstick at that price? I don't care if I look superficial or not. Everybody knows divas NEED lipstick. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

There's a cosmetics outlet about 30 mins from where I live (in Northern Florida). Right around inventory, they'll have a huge sale where they're practically giving away tubes. That was for MAC...Where I go to school (in Rhode Island), a boutique was closing, and they were selling Hard Candy products (lipstick, eyeshadow, nail polish) for like, 75% off list price. I don't NORMALLY buy at these prices, but when I can find them, I stock up. And yes, divas DO NEED LIPSTICK!

Is the cosmetics outlet you're talking about at the outlet mall in Foley, AL?

What part of North Florida are you from? My family and I travel to that area (Perdido Key, Panama City Beach, etc) quite frequently.

Actually, I wasn't talking about the cosmetics outlet in Foley...I go to the outlet in Destin (where I live).

To add to the list...cell phone holder, colorful tops to go w/ the black pants, bottled water (sorry), the list goes on. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Okay here's my list (superficial sounding or not)
1. Floss - I can't stand it when I have things stuck in my teeth or others!
2. Chapstick - who doesn't need chapstick?!
3. Travel Size perfum -for when you and your sisters need to freshen up from dancing too much
4. Kleenex's -for those sisterhood moments
5. Mase (you never know!)
6. Super hold hairspray - Formal
7. Strand of pearls - Composites

Well Ladies, all of these make for a great sorority girl, but you forgot the most important of all things. A Sig Tau on your arm. That completes the look you are all going for. So go out there and get yourselves one today.....

When everyone was talking about the Tiffany's heart bracelet, I had no clue what ya'll meant - it had been years since I had seen a catalogue. When I looked at the picture on Texas Alum's site, I realized what it looked like...

Well, yesterday, I found a *perfect* copy in TJ Maxx for $20!!! Sterling silver and all. I'm so proud of my shopping find http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

They're so great! I love them love them love them. I have the bracelet (with my initials), and I am asking for the necklace for V-day.

Along this thread, what happened to that little "necessity" baggie you carried as a pledge with your stick of gum, your matches, your cigarettes, your quarter to call in case of trouble, and the all-time best, the CONDOM!! LOL

I can't believe I forgot a nail file. And Gum. Ooh, and my ID.

I think this thread is very interesting, especially because I already own most of the items listed. I chose the items because I liked them, not because they are "essential" to a sorority girl. I've never thought of myself as a typical sorority girl, and definitely NOT in reference to my particular group. Maybe I am, but that's not all bad. Ladies who have written before me, I salute you, because you have good taste, down to the Tiffany Atlas ring, but my bracelet has the round tag, because I hate the heart!!!

And to respond specifically to Alpha Chi Girl...who cares if Non-Greeks think we're shallow, superficial snobs? They already think we are and it's just like high school all over again. They can't be us or don't want to be us, but they won't let us be and put us up on pedestals, yet are quick to take a hammer to that pedestal the minute a Greek falters.

Over Holiday break 1998, I did seasonal work at my hometown mall and reconnected with a highschool classmate who never gave two looks to me way back when (and is also a non-Greek). But the minute I said I was a Delta Zeta, her jaw dropped and she was my best buddy for the rest of the Holiday season. Funny, she couldn't remember my name for four years of high school.

On the flip side, a lot of my good, old friends looked at me in a different light after they found out I had gone Greek.

you can't win.

I want to add to the list:

1) Dress Whites (!!!)
2) Baseball hat w/ letters with perfectly bent rim (for those bad hair days)
