Sorority Swimsuits
 
These suits aren't terrible, but the cutout idea is kind of...off. Does anyone really want their sorority symbol tanned into their hip?

Right now, they make suits for KKG, DG, and Theta. It looks like they're an unlicensed company.

At $98 apiece, I should hope that it would be 45% off.

I personally think they are very cute. I use tanning stickers in the summer, but they move and fall off. This is unique, and it's like the opposite of a tanning sticker but it won't move. My problem with them is the price, the licensing, and the fact that that style top looks terrible and never stays up on me!

When I clicked on the link I was expecting letters on the crotch/boobs/butt. But honestly these aren't that bad. I would hope they would become licensed... but they aren't that bad, because they aren't in your face. If you didn't know the colors and symbols you really wouldn't know they were sorority specific.

super cute! I'd wear the theta one! It's subtle and those are my school colors ;)

I actually kind of like them, but I wish the tops were different. You could do a halter with the symbols.

Two words:
Not appropriate. The end.
If I EVER saw a soror with this or anything like it on, oh, it's coming off of her and straight to the trash.

It's an okay suit, but I don't think it's in good taste. KD's policy is that it is in poor taste to have a tattoo of our letters, name, crest, or badge. I think tanning a sorority symbol into your hip falls in that category, too.

It's definitely a suit for a particular body type. I don't find it offensive, it's just not a suit I would ever buy, even if I did have a decent figure. The DG one is pretty cute.

ADPiEE 02-06-2013 06:22 PM

Let me preface this by saying I'm a conservative Southern mom....

I would agree that this is not in good taste. Not necessarily because of the symbols but because the suit itself is a little skimpy. I'm sure collegians would love this suit but that's why we have alumnae and moms to remind them about dressing appropriately and respectfully. I hope I don't get flammed for this :eek:

These don't come close to being as bad as the hooker shoes but I still think it's inappropriate.

We have a similar policy & I agree too that the suit itself is ok. I also agree whole heartedly that it's in extremely poor taste and I'll add disrespectful to our founders. This is an example of why I don't support non-licensed vendors of SGRho merchandise.

I don't think you would end up with a little tan of the symbol. The suit would move around, not laying in exactly the same place every time & you would just get a light blob.

Looks like only Kappa & DG are still available on the site now... maybe the other HQs got wind of them.

AGDLynn 02-06-2013 09:08 PM

And it's gone!;)

WCsweet<3 02-06-2013 09:17 PM

The Theta is gone, but the Kappa and DG remain.

I'm not a big fan of them. However it is better than letters, crest, etc. Anchors are in and anyone could wear it. I don't think the tanning symbol idea would work either. Personally the design isn't my favorite either. I'm not very favorable towards any of the suits, but the bottoms cover more than many suits I've seen recently.
