If You Ran the ADPi Gift Mart...

I saw a beautiful coffee-table type ADPi history when I toured headquarters, but forgot to inquire about buying a copy. It's not listed on Giftmart - does anyone know 1.) the name and 2.)if ADPi still sells it?

Loyally?

I'm thinking more Sisters - as far as I know they still sell it, but it's always been listed in the Adelphean versus Gift Mart (from what I can recall).

It's a gorgeous book, and someday I *will* get one!

Does that mean I can or cannot order one? I just got my Ordinary Miracles: 100 years of Kappa Delta book from their headquarters - it's really a great, comprehensive history. I also have my PHI MU one, and would hate for PHI MU to have an honoured place amongst my histories, with no ALPHA DELTA PI!!

SWTXBelle, I just went to try and look for information on Sisters on our website - I didn't find anything in the public or nonpublic side of the site. (Sisters is the coffee-book style history of ADPi, I think it was published around our 150th anniversary - someone please correct me if I'm mistaken

) I also checked our recent Adelphean, and there was nothing listed about ordering one (unless I missed it, too)

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Short of calling EO or the Gift Mart, I don't see how to get a copy of Sisters, either. But I'll bet there are some copies to be had.

Was I the only one seriously impressed with the latest issue of The Adelphean?? I just loved the article called "100 Things I Learned On Recruitment Without Really Trying!!" I can so relate to it!

I know that after the 150th there were some copies of Sisters remaining but as I recall since then the book has sold out- you can email EO to confirm or perhaps watch Ebay if a copy ever comes up for sale... I'm not sure if they plan to do a reprint but I haven't heard any plans so far.

I just heard from the person I emailed at Executive Office - they have sold out of Sisters, and said that they were really expensive to produce and hasn't heard of any plans to reprint.

I guess I'll be doing my lurking online for a while, myself. Sorry I don't have better news, SWTXBelle.
