Clearly! And question... are they technically our colors? I've heard some things about purple, but no one has confirmed this for me.

Online, I've only found a few things saying that purple used to be one of our colors, but they're not the most reliable sources. Wiki says that our colors were originally purple and gold but another sorority on campus was already using those colors, so they changed them (I know Wiki isn't always accurate).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_S...tional_symbols

And this site, under "Alpha Sigma Tau" says, "Alpha Sigma Tau's colors are purple and gold"... I know that's clearly wrong now, but still, it says it.

http://www.thestationerystudio.com/i...Sigma_Tau.html

Any idea?

Tell me about it - I'm trying to find a pair of gold shoes, and every pair I've seen has either an open toe or is a sandal!

True, but I'm pretty certain the colors have been emerald and gold since our founding year.

I don't think that stationery is specifically meant for ASTs. It probably comes in different colors, but the website only took pictures of one variety (yet still tagged a bunch of sororities for it). You could probably order it in emerald and gold.

Oh wait, I see where it says that. Yeah, somebody didn't do her/his homework. Cool stamps though.

The only time I can say yes to Uggs is in Colorado in the fall/winter when that dry, bone chilling wind comes about.
I cant stand them anywhere else, especially when worn with boxer like shorts and a tank top. I mean really, what's wrong with you?

I'm also surprised I'm the first to mention this, but crocs. I cannot find one valid reason for wearing them. Get flip flops for the shower!

Also slippers. The Ugg company made some slipper clog combination that has taken off by storm here and I cannot understand it. Slippers are comfortable and all, but I would hate to walk around all day in them.

My mom thought I was a fashion crime this summer when I would go out with my GF's in daisy dukes and a crop top. She said I looked like I should be standing on a street corner.

It was almost 40 degrees outside and I saw a girl wearing UGGs and a skirt today.

I love my UGGs (because I live in Ohio where it is FREEZING during winter). However, they are NOT meant to be worn with shorts, skirts, dresses, etc.

I saw a girl in the same weather, in uggs, a miniskirt, a short sleeved tshirt, and a thin scarf. Outside. What's with people?

Some of these are slingbacks, but they are closed toe gold heels.

So fashion tragedy of the day, seen in front of the library with her boyfriend who was dressed normally.

Teased and curled giant black hair.
HUGE handbag, bigger than her torso, and I was unable to see her top from the sheer size of it. It was black and shiny with tassels, it looked like it had accessory diarrhea all over it
Gold lace tiered and ruffled mini skirt.
Cut off denim jorts under the mini skirt, mid thigh, not daisy dukes, with threads hanging off.
Black UGGtype knee high fur boots.

Yes! It's so old-lady trying to be prim and proper but it's awful.

Nordstrom's house brand (which I can't think of the name of right now) always has a few.
