I buy everything online. The closest store is at USF, a good 2 hours away. I
splurgd and bought the vinyard vines bag with our pin on it the other day!

Are there any physical standing stores you like to buy merchandise from?

There are not a whole lot of greek stores near Cap U. but i was forwarded a link to www.trulysisters.com, they have some nice cards

we also have to order online since our school doesn't have a store nearby and our bookstore doesn't carry sorority items. This company did our bid day gifts last year and they were awesome! I love finding unique gifts that are really cute and of course, are greek licensed!

my school has over 40 greek chapters (excluding local grad chapters/alumni associations) not to mention another school with a good number of orgs so we have a local store. But they are limited in what they do so a lot of people order from online stores. There are also people that have started making their own para as well as para for other orgs. Got a lot of choices here in Tampa Bay.

There's two local stores near my campus. One is more for sweatshirts and paddles--it's called T-Galaxy--and the other is more for the merchandise--it's called Art of the Flower. The stock at both is a little limited though, so if I want something different, I'll usually just go to the Delta Shop online.
