You know you're an Alpha Ep when....
 

Self Explanatory!
You see things with dolphins on it and you HAVE TO HAVE IT!
(or roses, or royal, etc)

You see cute things in greek stores and you imagine A.O.E. on it in some way (Tri Delta stuff with dolphins, KD white rose stuff, in royal, silver, white, or ADPi diamond stuff replaced with the parallelogram)

I you aren't from the earlier chapters and haven't gone to convention you have no idea how the songs go :(

share your thoughts :D

* Your boyfriend knows to buy you white roses, always tied with silver and blue ribbon.

* When in a crowd with sisters, the dolphin call always works.

* When girls in Panhel meetings complain about "tough majors", you roll your eyes and pretend to sympathize.

* Blue doesn't cut it. Everything MUST be royal blue!

Your wedding bouquet includes calla lillies
You buy a cute new royal blue dress.... because it's royal blue.

My wedding bouquet will be white roses (i loved them even before A.O.E., now i love them more :D) with a few callas.
My wedding colors will be Royal and Silver (unless future Mr. OHNO is in a fraternity, then I'll have to adjust)


did i mention I'm completely single? :p

I do love white roses. My sister sent me an arrangement with them on my initiation.

Did you ladies here the IEB is looking into licensing with Alexandria and Co.? Sooooooo excited about that!

For my initiation, my big got me my paddle, a fleece, a notepad, window cling, photo frame, t-shirt, and stationary. The t-shirt and frame were from a Greek Concept but the other merchandise that wasn't hand made was from Vistaprint. Look there for cute merchandise!

To go back to the discussion, you know you are an Alpha Ep when you stop eating tuna to save your mascot!

Tee hee. One of my friends just got married and her dress had blue and silver beading on her bustle :)

Me too!! The A&Co. Warehouse/HQ is located in Lubbock! I contacted them a while back trying to get them to do stuff for us (they would, but it was a large minimum) luckily for us Paddle Tramps (our greek store) has a good relationship with A&Co., and they do stuff for our locals. (still too big of a minimum at the time for us tho). Hopefully BA will be the first to get the stuff in stores :D

ETA: A&Co. has a online store now! look at the stuff they have (and if you don't know what A&Co. is/carries!)

I hope it happens soon :)

Co-sign. I want a keychain, and a costmetic bag, and a stainless steel travel mug, and a corkboard and sticky tabs.... :p

The photo frames are what I want.... and the pillow cases. :)

Stationary-wise, I do agree rubberduckie. Vistaprint is awesome, and cheap! I got my littles (I got twins this year!) a bunch of cute merchandise from there.

... you smile every time you see three interlocking rings.

... you hear the tune to the Marine Hymn and think of "Bonds of Sisterhood" first.

... you go to a wedding where the bride has calla lilies and wonder if she is a sister.

.... you get super excited for August because you will be welcoming hundreds of new women in to OUR SORORITY!!!

* You meet a woman scientist/engineer and you accidentally go to give her the secret handshake.

* Your room is shades of blue and silver.

* You put the biggest window cling you can on your car

* You pick out a dolphin key chain dangle for your Physician's Handbag :)



Ditto! I adore recruitment!

Haha! I'm laughing because I'll walk by a clothing rack and inspect the royal blue dresses thinking, "That would look so cute at convention."
I'm going to start a new thread bc I want to get involved in the merchandising (or lack thereof) department of A.O.E. and see if we can eventually work towards an online store. I think that would be several years from now, if it even gets approved, but at least do some research now to see what it is that sisters would buy. I'll start he list on the next thread.

...when your boyfriend buys you a dozen white roses to wish you good luck on finals!

You hear Auld Langs Syne and think of the A.O.E version :)
